Hey Rachel! I really enjoyed reading this article, especially considering I had no prior knowledge of the topic. Just a few things to consider going forward.

First, in the “Pregnancy pressure” section I think it might be good to put the examples in quotes and also for the last point indicate that pressures can be subtle remarks such as that one. Also, before citing the Chicago statistic it may be beneficial to preface it by stating that these remarks are found to be present in the lives of many young adults who have children.

In the opening paragraph of the “Birth control sabotage” section be sure to provide citations for the first two statements. If they are from the same source as the third sentence then you can just cite it once at the beginning and once at the end. It may also be beneficial to provide more information on those conducting the research for the studies you utilize. When you elaborate on who conducted each study it greatly aids in establishing credibility for the information you provide. This could be particularly helpful for the second and third paragraphs of this section. Instead of making overarching statements, it is important to point to the source of the information. For example, in the fourth paragraph it might be better to indicate that these methods were found to be most popular in a study done by Shane Trawick and establish his credibility.

Because most of the information you provide seems to be based in the United States, it may be important to incorporate facts on legal ramifications or lack thereof for reproductive coercion that exist within the country. The section on contraceptive fraud is very interesting, but you may want to preface it by saying that reproductive coercion occurs across gender lines and how contraceptive fraud serves as one such example of this. Lastly, are there any known solutions or interventions that have been shown to decrease the incidence of reproductive coercion? If so, that would be an excellent addition to include in the article. Overall, awesome work! Let me know if you need me to elaborate on anything! Avo92 (talk) 19:57, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you already know SPLC. If not, look them up at http://www.splcenter.org and http://tolerence.org. I think you'll find USA specific information and some hope for the future. Great article. Expect some WP:POV discussion when it's posted to mainspace (and WP:Vandalism is likely but will be quickly reverted by editors who'll watch your page(s).
