thread_title: Articles for Deletion debate

message: I overhauled the article as per Tznkai's clean-up request. I removed a lot of sentences that I found to be redundant and also the comparisons between "wrongful birth" and "wrongful abortion" (because, in my eyes, it was editorialistic). I carefully researched case examples (but, unfortunately, I have neither access to nor means to understand court documents). If you believe that my revisions and additions are good, then remove the clean-up flag. Also, in light of the expansion of the "wrongful birth" section" do you think this article should be renamed "wrongful abortion and wrongful birth"? --Kyd 04:54, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  Perhaps totally reformatting the flow of the article was a bit too much of a bold move. However, it was my opinion that the categorization was overspecific and unnecessary. It is much more concise to incorperate all of the causes into two paragraph-based sections. As for the following, I'm shaking my head: "All in all, [s]he turned an article that was written in legal jargon into an amateutish [sic] mish mash of headings, concepts, explanations, and examples." Should the average Wikipedia user — who, I am guessing, is not a lawyer and does not have access to subscription-based court document archives — be able to understand the subject? Does it hurt to include case examples to augment the article? Or would it have been better to just leave the terse legal references in place and let Wikipedians fend for themselves? If you think the original article was superior, by all means, revert it. But, rememeber, it was flagged for clean-up for a reason, probably because it was a maze of run-on sentences and esoteric legal references.  --Kyd 23:36, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  There. I reverted it for you. Now, you sort it out in whatever manner tickles your fancy in order to comply with the clean-up request. --Kyd 00:53, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Article Overhaul

message: This article needs serious expert legal opinion. The term "Wrongful abortion" should be shifted away from distinct pro-life agenda and more into how it is a legal term that needs to be better defined. --Cutesmartguy 04:54, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually think that the main issue with this article is that it is based on a single journal article which isn't accessible to most readers. As such, I don't think this article's treatment of the subject is readily understandable, specifically to readers who do not have a legal background or do not have resources to research legal topics. I tried overhauling this article two years ago with the goal of increasing accessibility but ran into objections. -Severa  (!!!) 06:41, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I did a search and finally found the paper which this article is based off: "Wrongful Abortion: A Wrong in Search of a Remedy." Most of the text in this article is lifted verbatim from that source, so, it's presence on Wikipedia indicates a clear WP:COPYVIO concern. Does anyone think that we should revert to my 2-year-old rewrite in order to remove the concern of infringement? -Severa  (!!!) 06:54, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say - ask the journal (which probably holds the copyright for the article). I am sure that a law journal of an elite school would allow use of the text. After all, they Yale guys would like the seemingly new term become part of the legal discourse.207.237.245.85 20:37, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello, I am the co-author of "Wrongful Abortion: A Wrong in Search of a Remedy." I added a link to SSRN. I know one needs to register to view the paper, but SSRN is the leading scholarly repository today, registration is free, and this is the only way I could provide free access without violating copyright.
