Which article are you evaluating?
Abortion in Brazil

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because I believe that abortion is an extremely relevant topic to politics in the United States right now. I was wondering what the politics surrounding abortion in a country in Latin America, in this case Brazil, would be like and what the similarities and/or differences would be compared to the United States. I think articles about abortion are particularly important so that anyone with a uterus can be informed of their rights.

Evaluate the article
I agree with those in the talk section saying that the topic sentence of this article is misleading. It is overly detailed, doesn't provide a good overview of the article's content, and makes seem as if abortion is illegal in all circumstances in Brazil, which is simply not true. The article's content is all definitely relevant, but I believe it would be more effective if it spent more time talking about the history of abortion rights in Brazil instead of giving only a couple sentences on that topic. I also think that a section should be added that addresses how the lack of abortion access in Brazil impacts marginalized people with uteruses and how people get abortions when they need them. While the article itself is very neutral in its viewpoints and does not attempt to persuade the reader any which way, it does focus heavily on information about anti-abortion viewpoints and does not give much information about any pro-choice movements. The article is pretty well written, but I think the language should be more concise and organized better. The first section should give an overview of what is going to be said throughout the article. There are several sources and most of them are recent and reputable. However, there are a few points that need a source, but this isn't often at all. There aren't any images in this article and the inclusion of images could definitely make it more readable. The talk page discussion points out that some of the points about the legality of abortion in the article are factually incorrect. It also emphasizes how the structure of the article could be improved. The article is rated C-class. Users in the talk section are generally talking about how to remove biased language as well. The article is published, but I think it's still pretty incomplete. More sources need to be added and the history paragraph needs much more information. I also think information about pro-choice movements in Brazil should be added as well. Overall, the article definitely isn't bad, but it could be better.
