Existing law f ails to prevent obstetric violence or provide meaningful recourse to women who experience mistreatment at the hands of their health care providers. Although important constitutional values regarding autonomy and reproducti ve liberty are central to women’s freedom from coercive treatment during c hildbirth\, the constitution provides little direct protection to women ha rmed by obstetric violence. The mirroring of abusive behaviors in action\, tone or gesture\; the reproduction of negative power relations and dynami cs\, the imposition of rigid instructions or schedules\, using shaming\, j udgmental or sexually suggestive language with survivors during pregnancy and in labor\, can increase risks for maternal morbidity and mortality. Th e research reveals that survivors experience birthing and postpartum compl ications. Failure to link those issues to past or recent sexual trauma\, f ailure to implement a culturally attuned\, gender-responsive and survivor- centered approach places women at a painful and dangerous disadvantage.\n \nAs such\, obstetrician–gynecologists and other women’s health care provi ders play a critical role in evaluation and intervention requiring routine screening for a history of sexual assault. All these experiences are also superimposed on existing layers of fear and distrust of the healthcare sy stem stemming from a history of doctors like J.
