Which article are you evaluating?
United States abortion-rights movement

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article, because there is a lot of misinformation about abortion in the US and I wanted to make sure that the topic was presented in a neutral way and didn't include misinformation. I also chose it, because the right to have an abortion is a very important topic to me and I am passionate about making sure the information people read about it is accurate.

Evaluate the article
I thought the article did a good job of keeping a neutral tone and not overly advocating for one side over the other. However, there were several unnecessary examples of individuals that are/were proponents of the right to seek an abortion that didn't need to be there. In terms of sources, the links work on the page, but there is a note that not all of the sources list the primary source the information is from, but rather list articles that include references to the information. I also felt like there were some grammar issues and unclear wording on some of the sentences. For example: "his views were that the consent allowed for the woman to properly understand and make..." Lastly, there seems to be a big problem with a lack of equity in the pro-choice individuals and organizations mentioned. They did not mention any organizations that were run by women of color or individuals that are part of the pro-choice movement that are people of color. I also felt like there could be more information on how many times abortion is more available to rich, white women, and because of laws like the Hyde Amendment (which was mentioned) many of the negative effects of the anti-choice rhetoric and laws being passed falls on the shoulders of poor women of color who are trying to seek an abortion.
