Semi-protected edit request on 3 April 2024[edit]

Update the Florida Color to the same dark red as Georgia and South Carolina have. https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/04/01/florida-abortion-ban-upheld-by-supreme-court-ruling-desantis-heartbeat-law-next/71920329007/ 71.241.135.42 (talk) 21:43, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to that article, it should be the purple that Utah is: 18 wk rather than the 15 we show. In 30 days it will become dark red, if nothing intervenes. — kwami (talk) 03:00, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, 18 weeks is 15 weeks, which is really 12 weeks. So the author or editor of that article doesn't know what the law is. I think we'll wait for a better source. — kwami (talk) 03:07, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done: per Kwamikagami. —Sirdog (talk) 05:09, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With regards about Florida[edit]

Can anyone please change and update Florida to the six week ban colour?

Wiki Assignment: Abortion and Ethnicity (WGST 2239)[edit]

This article may be improved if it expanded on the subsection of “Abortion and Ethnicity.” The statistics themselves do not provide much information on the racial disparities surrounding abortion in the United States. While the purpose of this section seems merely to be providing stats, it could be beneficial to include at least a link to a separate Wikipedia page that explores the reasons for the differences noted in the “Abortion and Ethnicity” section and the significance of such differences. For example, it is valuable to note that Black people have higher rates of abortion largely due to higher rates of unintended pregnancy. Black people have higher rates of unintended pregnancy primarily on account of systemic barriers that limit their access to healthcare and contraceptives. These barriers include economic disparities, less access to consistent and quality education, and fewer opportunities for steady employment, which all together impact their ability to afford and consistently and effectively use contraception. In addition, healthcare provider shortages in predominantly Black communities further limit the availability of reproductive health services. Structural inequalities and discrimination within the healthcare system further aggravate these issues.[1]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2835625/ Wellsew (talk) 10:32, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
