Which article are you evaluating?
Unsafe abortion

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
The overturning of Roe V Wade has put a HUGE damper on women in today's society. Because of this, thousands of women are resorting to unsafe abortions. I chose this article because it definitely had good aspects but it also had some errors throughout the paper.

Evaluate the article

 * The Lead sentence gives a broad definition on the act of 'Unsafe Abortions',
 * The lead does not include a brief description of what would be in the article
 * Everything that is in the lead is mentioned in the article at some point
 * The lead is very broad and scattered, it doesn't feel like the beginning of an article

Content


 * Everything in this article is relevant to the topic of 'Unsafe Abortions'
 * This article seems to avoid any problems outside of the US...All they talk about in it is women affected in the US
 * The content coincides with the title and is up to date
 * While this article is split up into sections, it still feels very cluttered and sporadic instead of well thought out and put together.
 * I just feel like this article could of had some personality to it, instead of just sounding like a bunch of random facts thrown together.

Tone And Balance


 * This article is neutral and sticks to valid facts
 * This particular article could be seen as biased because it only focuses on women and what they struggle with
 * Everything in the article can be found in today's and yesterday's literature

Sources and References

 * Each source listed is fairly current and able to be backed up heavily
 * Some sources are from different people, for example, the WHO is one of the sources throughout this article
 * There are definitely better sources available for this article, for example, they could have utilized more information from Planned Parenthood.

Organization and Writing quality


 * This article was very scattered and didn't seem to have a main message to follow
 * Each sentence seems more like a rushed thought than a well thought out one.

Images and Media


 * This article contains two images, but only one slightly aids in understanding the article
 * One of the images is very small and barely legible

Talk Page Discussion

 * These projects include; Feminism, Abortion, Reproductive Medicine, Women's Health, and Death

Overall Impression
