Spark: Partner Abuse By Controlling Birth Control

I don’t know why this story hit home for me so much—I have never been pregnant nor have I ever dated someone who tried to control me. But it did and it’s a harrowing (and true) story.

    Barefoot and pregnant – amazing that old theme hasn’t slunk away. Sadly, that’s probably because it works.

    Control comes in many forms. This was a disturbing article that should be read by all. Thanks for sharing.

    That IS disturbing. Also sad that someone would opt for trying an “I tricked you into this” relationship rather than something genuine and sincere….
