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

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it’s about a powerful movement on the topic of abortion-rights. I think there is so much to explain about the progress of the movement and the direction it is moving in. It matters because it gives women the choice and freedom of speech to whether they want an abortion or not. Also, I feel like when it comes to movements that talk about choice and freedom it is very important to support that because it is not only affecting one person it is affecting many people. My preliminary impression of the article is I was impressed with the organization of the article specifically looking at the overview, history, Roe v. Wade., and looking at abortion organizations. I think some sections may need more information and other sections about the topic can be added.

Evaluate the article
The lead does include a well introduction that describes the abortion-rights movement. Also, describes well what specifically is an abortion. The lead does briefly describe the major sections like Roe v. Wade and overview. It doesn’t really describe other major sections like the history section and the variety of organizations apart of the movement. Overall, I think the lead isn’t too detailed but just right. All the information on this article is related to the topic of abortion. The articles content goes up to date saying on June 24th, 2022, Roe v. Wade was overruled. In terms of up to date for the organizations, it isn’t their yet some recent information about the organizations haven’t been added like The National Abortion Federation details about the programs and services for members. For content that is missing I would say the article lists more organizations for the movement but doesn’t go deep into detail about them like The National Organization for Women. The article mentions transgender, intersex and other gender-nonconforming people relation with the movement. In regarding to the tone of the article it does talk about different viewpoints either saying for abortion, against abortion, and the choice of abortion. Each viewpoint is described well in different sections of the article. At times I believe the article is trying to persuade the reader in favor of pro-choice because it does go more in detail about the organizations that support that choice. There are some areas of the article that aren’t backed by a reliable source of information for example,” More broadly, abortion-rights advocates frame their arguments in terms of individual liberty, reproductive freedom, and reproductive rights”. Some sources like “So-Called Pro-Lifers Should Stop Promoting Abortion” are not currently updated and stopped adding new information since 2011. Another article “ Roe and Religion: A Surprising History” has not been updated since 2013. The authors of the sources are diverse there are historians, directors, news organizations, and abortion organizations. Some better sources could be www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov and the book “Reproductive Rights as Human Rights. A couple links don’t work like references 7 and 16 “Husband notification laws and Alito” and “The Art of Medicine: Abortion as a moral good.”. The sources used connect with abortion. The articles organization is well organized and well-written from the overview page to the organizations of the movements. I would say it doesn’t have as many grammatical or spelling errors but has a few like not including a comma after and in “Regarding abortions, they provide information for people who may be considering abortions, information on the abortion pill, where to find abortion clinics and what to expect when experiencing abortions”. The images included in the article do relate to the topic of the article and the captions will relate to image mostly including the date and the name of the event. The images are laid out to one side and I feel like some images could be moved to the opposite side. The conversations the talk page is having is having a neutral point of view on the abortion-rights movement it says to include a selection about violent attacks by activists for neutrality. This article is c-rated and is on WikiProjects. When it comes to abortion Wikipedia tries to make the topic sensitive on what people say on the top. The article’s overall status is very good. The article’s strengths are its organization and easy to follow through. It could be improved by including more images relating to the topic like pictures of the organizations. Also, more sections about abortion all over the world and more sources. I would say the article’s underdeveloped but getting closer to well-developed.
