Contraceptive and Pregnancy Decision‐Making Autonomy and Health Care Experiences Among Women With Intellectual Disabilities
Women with intellectual disabilities demonstrate the willingness and the ability to make informed and autonomous reproductive health decisions when appropriately supported with care and information. However, they face reproductive coercion and abuse and are often required to overcome numerous systemic challenges to assert their reproductive rights. Significant efforts are needed to better understand and address barriers to informed reproductive decision-making.
