I'm wondering if the 'Attacks on Abortion Clinics' section should be split off into it's own article. It seems like there is enough information out there for just this. I'd like to see what some other people think though. Malo 02:33, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Clean Up

This article is severely slanted for while most of it's content is true it is written is such a way that it blames Pro-life people. Also it doesn't fully explain why there is such violence towards the abortion clinics. Chooserr

I can't really see how the article could be made more neutral, though specific suggestions are welcome. It's not that helpful to just say it's "slanted" since the article as it stands seems to present the facts, more or less. Demi ^T/_C 00:18, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Add Content?

Should this article contain specific terms to define why it is a "clinic?" And what makes the clinicians different from Doctors or RNs? What is the medical background of a typical abortion clinic? These are questions i've asked myself. Has anyone else wondered, or know the answers? Renee 01:49, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Presence of clinic directory, and which one?

I'm not convinced this article needs to link to a directory of abortion clinics; Wikipedia's primary job isn't to enable people to find services of any kind. On the other hand, we do point to directories for things like books or other things. If we decide a directory link is necessary, we then have to decide which one. The current link is misleading, since it is labeled "Abortion.com" but actually links to abortiion.com. It looks like both have appeared in the article.

I'm concerned that either or both of these sites might be selective (for pay) in their listings, or may reflect a hidden agenda. abortiion.com seems to cover less and might be paid listing. I'm looking for other opinions on whether a directory link should be included at all, and if so, what would be most appropriate (perhaps a directory not used yet).

I have corrected the error. I assume it was a typo or the result of vandalism which previously went undetected. Being that this article's pro-life corollary, Crisis pregnancy center, contains links to relevant organizations and services, I think it's fair that a similar link be included upon this page. It's also included at Abortion. -Severa (!!!) 23:17, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
