Now a new study suggests that 15% of them are subjected to “reproduction coercion and abuse”.  An article published in the journal, [Reproductive Health](https://reproductive-health-journal.biomedcentral.com/), says nearly one in seven women seeking pregnancy counselling after unplanned pregnancies were subjected to either “pregnancy preventing” or “pregnancy promoting” behaviour.  Meanwhile [research by Fair Agenda](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/03/australians-seeking-pregnancy-counselling-report-coercive-pressure-as-poll-shows-support-for-abortion-care?utm_term=62e9905c2e882ed206f6c1bb2965090d&utm_campaign=MorningMailAUS&utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&CMP=morningmailau_email), an organisation that campaigns for gender equality, has found:  + 72% of Australians agree that governments should make sure abortion care is accessible + 71% agree religious beliefs should not impact a person’s access to abortion care +  70% agree nurses should be appropriately trained for the purposes of abortion care without risk of criminalisation In a win for reproductive rights for all women, The New York Times has also reported that Kansas voters resoundingly decided against removing the right to abortion from the State Constitution.
