replies: text: I visited it a while ago and I remember it as a detailed explanation of how D&C's are performed.  I don't think the site promotes illegal, unsafe DIY abortions.  If anything, reading about the procedure has reminded me that even a relatively safe and simple surgical procedure requires special skills and tools.  I'd be less likely to want to perform a D&C now that I was before, and that's despite being entirely unlikely in the first place.  So, in short, no, I don't think the l ink should be removed.

text: But it's called an "abortion manual for the women of South Dakota", and tells laypeople how to perform abortions in their own homes. Sounds like a DIY abortion to me, which surely can't be safe? Or legal. But no matter, my point was more that it was off-topic. It doesn't talk exclusively about D&Cs (which are rarely used for abortions and much more for medical reasons anyway), so maybe it should be moved to the abortion article (which is admittedly already groaning under the strain of text, even before you get the discussion page!) or to the backalley abortion article?--Dub8lad1 23:22, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Most wikipedia pages have a nice picture at the top to give you a visual of the subject matter so I don't have to waste my time reading.  I'm sure there is a tasteful picture that could be included in this article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.227.254.193 (talk) 13:37, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Citations broken 

message: I need consensus on my addition of the medical definition of an incomplete miscarriage and whether that merits the deletion of the template for it.
(Note: I have left the template on the top of the page until at such time as I get a consensus on the matter).

message: I propose rearranging the sections to start with "Clinical uses" and then "Procedure." Many other medical procedure pages are ordered this way, with Medical Uses first followed by a description of the procedure. Lukascolashop (talk) 01:00, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
