Talk:Abortion clinic

message: I'm wondering if the 'Attacks on Abortion Clinics' section should be split off into it's own article.  It seems like there is enough information out there for just this.  I'd like to see what some other people think though.  Malo 02:33, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

message: The term "Abortion Clinic" is NOT in any way NPOV. Planned parenthood would never refer to themselves as an "Abortion clinic." They perform the full range of women's health services including referrals for adoption, STD prevention and treatment, contraception, and general gyn care for women who lack insurance or can't afford private practitioners. This article should not exist in its present form, or should be redesigned to reflect that "abortion clinic" is not a universally accepted term.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.67.178.11 (talk) 01:52, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I can't really see how the article could be made more neutral, though specific suggestions are welcome. It's not that helpful to just say it's "slanted" since the article as it stands seems to present the facts, more or less. Demi T/C 00:18, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed POV tag 

message: Should this article contain specific terms to define why it is a "clinic?" And what makes the clinicians different from Doctors or RNs? What is the medical background of a typical abortion clinic? These are questions i've asked myself. Has anyone else wondered, or know the answers? Renee 01:49, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Add Content?

message: I'm not convinced this article needs to link to a directory of abortion clinics; Wikipedia's primary job isn't to enable people to find services of any kind. On the other hand, we do point to directories for things like books or other things. If we decide a directory link is necessary, we then have to decide which one. The current link is misleading, since it is labeled "Abortion.com" but actually links to abortiion.com. It looks like both have appeared in the article.
I'm concerned that either or both of these sites might be selective (for pay) in their listings, or may reflect a hidden agenda. abortiion.com seems to cover less and might be paid listing. I'm looking for other opinions on whether a directory link should be included at all, and if so, what would be most appropriate (perhaps a directory not used yet).

replies: text: I have corrected the error. I assume it was a typo or the result of vandalism which previously went undetected. Being that this article's pro-life corollary, Crisis pregnancy center, contains links to relevant organizations and services, I think it's fair that a similar link be included upon this page. It's also included at Abortion. -Severa  (!!!) 23:17, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Does this belong in this article? It would make sense only in a history section. -- davidz (talk) 03:23, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

message: How necessary is the list of statistics? Surely that is more suited to Abortion. Seems rather biased, also.

thread_title:  List of statistics 

message: The section on the United States is based on numbers from 2008.  I believe that the landscape has changed significantly since then: there have been hundreds of bills passed restricting access to abortion; at least three states (North Dakota, Kansas, Mississippi) have only one abortion provider left; Mississippi passed a law in 2012 (still being disputed in court) with the goal of shutting down its last provider; several other states have passed or are trying to pass similar laws for the same purpose.  Does anyone know of a relatively up-to-date list of abortion providers grouped by state?  DES (talk) 12:02, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting. We could compile a list of the number of abortion providers by state too. --92slim (talk) 12:03, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
