A Potential Summation

(Put a lot of qualifiers before that including perhaps, possibly, is this, conceivably etc.)

Title proposals:


 * Pro-life Movement and Pro-choice Movement
 * While self chosen not NPOV


 * Movement supporting legalizing of abortion & Movement opposing legalization of abortion
 * “Movement” implies articles about groups and people. On the other hand the articles may be about the movements.


 * Support for the legalization of abortion & Opposition to the legalization of abortion
 * Clearly this is my own choice since I can’t think of arguments against it


 * Support for legal abortion/Opposition to legal abortion
 * Does this mean that those who oppose legal abortion support illegal abortion?


 * Support for legality / opposition to legality of abortion
 * Same as above

Apparent consensus:

People appear to be against merging the two articles, one of the main arguments being that they’re too long.

An overview page is needed with links to each article, perhaps the Abortion debate or the Abortion rights overview article. Each article should have See also: the overview page followed by the [title of opposite]and the same links in the text.

Each should include “also referred to as. . . “

General problems:

Concerns about Wikipedia using a constructed title.

Those advocating legalization of abortion and those against the legalization of abortion often also address additional matters such as contraception, pre-martial sex, religious issues, etc. There has also been discussion re international usage.

This is a big one, part of the working on the articles and/or the overview page once the names have been chosen. Resources for both include:


 * http://www.prolife.com/, which lists groups with comments about their specialties. There's also Pro-life disambiguation
 * http://www.abortionaccess.info provides list of “pro-choice” groups but without descriptions.
 * Internal and external links to sidewalk counseling etc. To balance need same for other article.
 * A lot of googling

There’s going to be a heck of a lot of work done on all three articles once they’re named.
