Evaluate the article
The introductory sentence gives a concise description of how abortion is viewed within Buddhism. Outside of that there isn't a lead section, the article just goes into different regional views of Buddhism and their specific views on abortion, with each section being about equal in size. In terms of being up-to-date, the most recent source the article uses is from 2023, and it displays how the views have changed within the religion throughout the years. The article could use some more peer-reviewed sources in place of sources such as the Guardian or the New York Times, however it still incorporates academic articles. It also only talks about Buddist from Eastern regions, although I know that is where the religion is centered, due to globalization, Buddhism has spread to other parts of the world so I would like to see how that varies. The article takes a neutral stand point consistently, and simply shares how the religion views abortion in a well-worded manner without an input on how it should be viewed. The article includes no images, although I'm not sure that this topic requires any. The talk page has only one input regarding a link with no response, so it isn't very active. It is rated as a c-class article and is in the interest of nine different wiki-projects. In order to improve this article, I would recommend incorporating information about buddhist views outside of Asian countries, and adding more sources that are peer-reviewed and scholarly.
