Prof. D. Feedback
This is great and presents an important, nuanced part of the debate. That said, given that it is so nuanced, I think it is going to be useful to explicate some of this more clearly. I think it would be helpful to define "selective abortion bans" at the outset, to start. Make clear to us the relationship between selective abortion bans and incremental abortion restrictions as a pro-life[really i far prefer a term like "anti-choice" here] tactic. "Activists define incremental restrictions on abortion as legislation such as perinatal hospice laws (which mandate the provision of fetal life-sustaining resources for people with fatal pregnancies) that work to limit abortion access by forcing patients to provide justifications for the procedure." this sentence feels a bit unclear. Perhaps it can be split into several sentences. Take some time to define this incrementalist approach a bit more for us. Again, "while not violating the Supreme Court ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) that states can place an "undue burden" on the right to abortion before fetal viability" is again a bit unclear. Perhaps a similar strategy of several sentences out of one will help clarify. I think Stephanie's feedback is good and should also be helpful. I think a few more sources may help, in your case, depending on how much you expand your discussion/take Stephanie's suggestions. Side note, currently in poland i think there is some selective abortion ban happening that is said to be simply an abortion ban tactic, if you want to look into that debate for some sources, if available. Looking forward to seeing how this develops! --T. Danylevich (talk) 16:22, 19 April 2020 (UTC)

=== This Wiki is really great! I really liked how clearly you explained the legal and ethical arguments made against selective abortion bans. I found your discussion of the tactics that anti-abortion groups use to skirt the Planned Parenthood v. Casey ruling super interesting. Perhaps you could expand more on other examples of strategies employed by anti-abortion groups to impose questionably legal abortion restrictions. Furthermore, I greatly enjoyed your article’s discussion of disability and selective abortion. I think it would be helpful to also include the thoughts of disability rights activists on selective abortion bans, as I imagine that this is a very nuanced issue within the disabled community. Finally, I think that in your last paragraph, it would be beneficial to include data/statistics that describe the driving factors of abortion within the United States and how these factors have changed over time. Overall, job well done and looking forward to reading the finalized version of your article! --Sld101 (talk) 00:33, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
