NPOV/Advertisement[edit]

Edits, especially those from user BrittNorris1, contain highly questionable language. There are also multiple poorly formatted sentences, some of which use a double dash (--) instead of em-dash. See "The organization has four values-- intersectionality, autonomy, collective power, and compassion." as one example.


"The NNAF works to facilitate networking and to provide support and technical assistance to local member funds..." can be found almost word-for-word in this PDF released by the NNAF in 2016 (page 7).

"In 2014, the NNAF received over a hundred thousand requests for financial assistance and contributed about $3.5 million for over thirty thousand people to be able to afford abortion services. $90,000 was given to 1,500 of these individuals for assistance within the practical assistance category. This is not enough." Not enough for what? This is a statement of facts followed by call to action.

"... they are consistently working diligently both behind the scenes and in high pressure situations like court rooms to promote political and cultural changes so that low-income women, women of color, younger women, transgender men, and gender nonconforming people are able to safely access reproductive care." Highly subjective language. Who says they're working diligently? Who says these situations are high pressure? Again we can see a non-neutral POV being used.

The pamphlet written largely by BrittNorris1 ends with "and they continue to fight tirelessly for this social justice" (contrib: 05:00, 09 April 2021). I'm sure they do fight tirelessly for social justice, but that's not our judgment to make.

I'm not a pro Wikipedia editor, so I apologize for any conventions I may have broken. I stumbled on this page while searching for organizations worthy of a donation and I found this article. I tried to make as much of my work here of reasonable quality considering how little time I have today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobdabiulder (talkcontribs) 01:09, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
