Summary:

[edit]

Obviously, the subject of abortion is controversial, and therefore some disputes are inevitable. However, I am having difficulty making even the most minor corrections to this article, specifically to the "fetal pain" subsection of this article. The editor Severa reverts without explanation, and other editors (mainly Andrew c) accuse me of "POV pushing" for no valid reason.

If you peruse the discussion page for the abortion article, you'll see that myself and another editor (Cat Whisperer) urged that this and other subsections be shortened, so that readers can get details at the linked main articles (e.g. the main fetal pain article). This was opposed despite Wikipedia policy on article length and on summarizing main articles. I also repeatedly asked why this article contains no subsection having biological info about the embryo or fetus that is being destroyed, and this question of mine was ignored. I tried to make the content of the fetal pain subsection into a more neutral and accurate summary of the main fetal pain article, but was reverted without any explanation from the reverter (Severa) as to why she believed that a consensus for my edits might be unwarranted. So, it's just been a very frustrating experience upgrading this content.Ferrylodge 21:30, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
