First of all, well done on all the research you have done! I think you have absolutely nailed it and it was really easy to follow and read. One possible suggestion: maybe a little more colour could really make your book chapter pop! Try inserting some more text boxes. You may prefer to keep it more sleek looking though, either way well done! Will be keeping an eye out for your video upload for the multimedia assignment. --Maddkilby (discuss • contribs) 12:40, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

This chapter has come together nicely and is both informative and well-structured. I added under see also the link to Wikipedia page of abortion so that people can view other resources --Haylzw (discuss • contribs) 04:52, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Really great research done on this topic! It can be a very touchy subject and you have presented it really well! It may be beneficial to reference towards your images in your text, especially the first image you have. Great work! - U3160551

Hey, really great topic you've picked, lay out of the information is really clear and well structured, It would be really interesting to see some research on age and personality relative to the experience of medical abortions. I had a squiz and apparently SA is the only state in Australia where data, like age, on abortions is collected, as emotions/ emotional responses differ over the life span it would be good to see intergenerational comparisons in the experience. Is there any comparative studies of a younger and older cohort? are you able to contrast similar studies yourself? also really interested in how emotion around abortion differs cross culturally with the cross section of factors like religion. These aren't necessary to cover and you've put together some really good stuff, just food for thought :) Chelsey.mcnair (discuss • contribs) 05:14, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I can see you haven't quite begun on your chapter yet. I think it would be really interesting if you did a section on whether having support while the mother gets the abortion impacts the emotions they have during and after the procedure. I've put a reference to a journal article which looked into that below.

Chor, J., Lyman, P., Tusken, M., Patel, A., & Gilliam, M. (2016). Women's experiences with doula support during first-trimester surgical abortion: A qualitative study. Contraception, 93(3), 244-248. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.contraception.2015.10.006

Hi, this topic is so interesting that made me want to contribute! It is true - that abortion influences emotions are a great deal, such as, when you look at it in a morality perspective of the culture. In the Philippines- where abortion is immoral - women who are pressured to keep the unwanted pregnancy due to Social expectation -such as college students who are pressured to either pursue the studies or keep the pregnancy, not to mention, Catholic school expel them when they are pregnant before graduating-- (You can read this article: https://thesis.eur.nl › pub › Ato-Elvie-C._MA_2017_18_SPD.pdf ) these women are more suceptible with depression before and after the abortion -- because of all the factors that they have to consider before doing so. There are meds which are illegally sold - Cytotec Oral - is the most common illegal drugs to assist them in doing abortion. I hope this helps! Glenda - 3165244

I found this article that may help as a starting for the long-term emotional effects. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4496083/ --Haylzw (discuss • contribs) 05:45, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

I find this topic so interesting! Perhaps a section on the history of abortion would be important as the views on abortion have changed considerably in the last few decades, especially in western culture, and along with it the emotions people feel when approaching the situation. I can imagine young girls would have felt scared, pressured and perhaps ashamed in earlier times as abortion was a 'taboo' subject. There was also not as much medical or support services available, compared to now where there is walk in health/sex clinics in which provide support and information. Perhaps a comparison on the similarities and differences in emotional states when approaching this situation in the early 1950's to now would be fascinating as it shows how external factors such as societal norms strongly impact our emotions.

Good luck! This is a great topic!--U3175511 (discuss • contribs) 11:09, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
