What is the dispute?
This dispute over the lead sentence of the abortion article has been going on for a long time now. I arrived relatively late and haven't been terribly involved, but I have been reading it for awhile. The two main options are the consensus from 2006-2011 and changes proposed this year, or something different entirely. I listed the users who have been involved in the discussions on talk over the last 10 days or so. If there are any more I missed, please feel free to add them or add yourself.

What would you like to change about this?
It's total gridlock. NYyankees51 (talk) 14:38, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

How do you think we can help?
We need to work out a solution between these users, most of whom are heavily involved in the dispute. We need to find a consensus for the lead sentence. It should be simple; unfortunately, it's gone on for weeks. NYyankees51 (talk) 14:38, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
