Talk:Late termination of pregnancy

message: I renamed the reasons section, because it is mistakenly portraying itself as being "reasons why a late-term abortion is sought", rather than "reasons why an abortion is sought later on".
I also object to the use of "late-term abortion" in a technical, medical sense in that passage, as doctors have routinely criticized that term as nonsensical and non-medical.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 22:34, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: Updating legal section

message: Here are my proposed revisions to the Mental Health section. Would love your thoughts, .
Research finds that having a wanted abortion in any trimester is not associated with mental health harms. Overall, abortion does not increase the risk of experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety or stress in the short term or over five years. Having a later abortion is not associated with more negative mental health outcomes than obtaining a first trimester abortion . A previous history of mental health conditions, sexual assault, and intimate partner violence were strongly associated with experiencing negative mental health outcomes after the abortion.

replies: text: I'm not understanding the phrasing, really. "At least than"? I'm guessing it should either be "at less than" or "born at at least 22 weeks". They have two different meanings, though. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:07, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Typo! Should be "at less than." I'll fix. Thanks for catching it. DataNerdMPH (talk) 18:32, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarifying meaning 

message: Expand on mental health section to further explore long-term mental health effects of late termination of pregnancy (if any).
Potentially update legal restrictions of late termination of pregnancy in the United States (and globally)
Maybe look into more methods/medical procedures associated with late-term abortions

thread_title:  List of countries where abortion is legal 

message: I have twice added mentions of people who have survived to adulthood following attempted abortions, in contrast to the present article's incomplete claim that "Although it is very uncommon, women undergoing surgical abortion after this gestational age sometimes give birth to a fetus that may survive briefly."
In my first attempt, I mentioned individuals by name and included news articles about the adults in question. It was reverted for the reason that "these sources aren't the kind we need to make a biomedical claim". I was not making a biomedical claim; I was making a historical claim: saying that named individuals have survived to adulthood following an abortion attempt. News sources are typically a reliable source of history, aren't they?
In my second attempt, I summarized congressional testimony by adult abortion survivors, and linked to the website of the US House of Representatives. One of the linked files included medical records, specifically a photograph of the person who testified from when she was a newborn (covered in chemical burns) and a birth record with her name and size, indicating how she survived. The revision was removed because "sources need to be reliable for the claims you're making". Are medical records and congressional testimony not reliable?
Does Wikipedia hold the opinion that the individuals who claim to have been born alive following an abortion attempt and survived to adulthood are lying? How much more proof can you need than medical records with the person's name, followed by the person with the same name giving testimony to Congress? How does that not prove that she survived to adulthood following a failed abortion?
Again, this is not merely a biomedical claim; it is a historical claim that can be verified.
