How do I edit the map? Wikipedia provides absolutely no instructions on how to do so. Anyway, Puerto Rico is shaded green, which couldn't be more wrong, and is contradicted by the global version of the map. Mix Orange And Purple (talk) 22:55, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I came here with the same concern. I can edit the map. The global article says there is no term limit for abortion for medical or social reasons, and implies economic reasons. Evidently that's a court's interpretation, because the law only says 'health or life'. I'm not sure, but it sounds like it has to be by a doctor; a woman who self-medicates will get 3 years. Though since the meds are only available with prescription, it is presumably allowed in that situation. — kwami (talk) 22:18, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

The article states, "Prior to Roe v. Wade, 30 states prohibited abortion without exception...." This is inaccurate. Historical records show that almost all states had at least a 'life of the mother' exception. This inaccurate statement should be corrected and more specificity added to this section. 198.146.148.2 (talk) 16:57, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge legal/history info from Medical_abortion#United_States into here?

[edit]

The article Medical abortion is supposed to focus mostly on the medical aspect, and is supposed to be international in scope. But over the years it's section on the U.S. laws/history has grown to a very large size. That content belongs here, in Abortion in the United States. I propose to merge the text from the former into this article, into section Abortion_in_the_United_States#Medical_abortion. If anyone has any thoughts on this, let me know.

Agree/support. The section existing in that article makes that article US heavy when no other countries have that type of coverage. Good noticing that, I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it now. ---Avatar317(talk) 23:10, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. DocZach (talk) 05:20, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

i have an assignment for my masters degree that i need to add some information to a wiki. page and i landed on this one. one thing that would be great to add would be post-Roe changes/events caused by post Roe overturning. Jaangle (talk) 00:32, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Aston305 (talk) 01:54, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
