Reproductive Coercion Prevention and Protection Act of 2025

The Reproductive Coercion Prevention and Protection Act of 2025 defines reproductive coercion as controlling a person's reproductive choices through force, threats, sabotage of contraception, or pressure to become pregnant or terminate a pregnancy. It creates a federal civil right of action, allowing victims to sue in court for damages if the coercion involved interstate activities - such as travel across state lines, interstate communication (e.g., email or phone), or payments. The bill does not override state laws or court jurisdictions, preserving existing state definitions of domestic violence and reproductive coercion. It specifically targets cases where abusers sabotage mail-order birth control or force victims to travel for reproductive health care, addressing gaps in current protections.
