    "title": "State-Sponsored Coercion and Control: The Need for Federal Abortion Protections to Safeguard the Autonomy of Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "<p>This Note makes the case for federal abortion protections by illustrating the heightened danger of intimate partner violence during pregnancy and highlighting the ways that abusers may use the law and legal systems as tools of abuse against their pregnant partners. To do so, this Note explains how the United States Supreme Court recognized the heightened risk of intimate partner violence during pregnancy in Planned Parenthood v. Casey and used concern for the safety of survivors of intimate partner violence to strike down abortion restrictions. It next discusses how Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization toppled critical protections for survivors of intimate partner violence when it ended federal constitutional protections for abortion. The Note explains the ways that bounty-style laws like Texas’s S.B. 8, wrongful death suits, spousal consent laws, and pregnancy criminalization laws can be used to further trap survivors in abusive relationships in a post-Dobbs era. Finally, it concludes that federal abortion protections are critical to keeping survivors of intimate partner violence safe and advocates that the Women’s Health Protection Act be passed with viability ban language removed, for prohibiting notice and consent requirements, and for repealing the Hyde Amendment.</p>",
