## Summary

**Creates a federal civil remedy for reproductive coercion.** This bill would add reproductive coercion to the federal definition of coercive behavior and authorize a private federal cause of action when the conduct involves interstate or foreign commerce. - Survivors could sue covered partners or family members in federal court and seek actual damages, punitive damages, and injunctive relief when the conduct uses interstate travel, communications, payments, or other cross-border links. - The bill defines reproductive coercion to include pressuring someone to become or end a pregnancy, sabotaging contraception or access to reproductive information, and using force, threat, intimidation, or other tactics to control pregnancy outcomes. It treats a single incident or a pattern of reproductive coercion as domestic violence. - “Covered defendant” is defined narrowly to include spouses, intimate or dating partners, cohabitants, people who share a child, and certain family members. The text preserves state custody authority and state definitions and remedies while creating this federal civil action framework.
