Talk:GRSJ224/AbortionInEasternEurope

Hi!

Really interesting topic you chose to take a look at! It is definitely one that would be considered relevant information to know, especially today with women's rights being so up in the air.

As I was reading through your contribution, I was a little concerned with your choice of wording in your introduction. You have chosen to use "killing" and "kill" when describing the procedure of an abortion. I wonder if you would be able to find a less controversial term to use? I also noticed that you use "infants" as the term to describe the fetus that is being aborted. By definition, the term "infant" is used to describe a child after birth, while the term "fetus" is used to describe the child before birth. These changes could help give your page and information some scientific weight.

Thanks for your contribution! Your wiki contribution is quite in depth. You also outlined the legality of abortion in different countries in Eastern Europe which is great! The map showing different countries where it is legal or not to get an abortion was a great idea. As I was reading your topic, a couple of questions came into mind.

How does Poland deter abortion legally? What are the penalties for women getting caught having an abortion and the person administering the abortion in Poland?

Also, in number 4, I changed “women right” to “women’s rights”; and “Abortion” to “abortion”.

Thank you for your informative page! I wondered if in the introduction the term "killing" when referring to abortion could be considered a bit controversial. The term "killing" in reference to abortion suggests that life begins when sperm meets egg and could be considered to be a pro-life statement. Although this is a very small thing, I do think that it is important. Perhaps a term such as 'termination' or 'ending pregnancy' would create a more neutral statement.
