Late term abortion

Hi, I saw that you picked to edit the article on late term abortion. I wanted to give you a bit of a head's up on this topic - it's an article that is held under sanctions. What this means is that the article is in a topic area that can be fairly controversial and is often edited. As such, it is more closely monitored than other articles. Now what this means to you is that anything you add to the article will have to be very neutrally written and have the strongest possible sourcing. Pay very close attention to the reliable source guidelines for medical topics. If anything is removed you will need to discuss the edit on the talk page before re-adding the content.

Something also to take into account is that the article is currently being worked on by one of our Wiki Scholars, DataNerdMPH. This doesn't mean that you can't edit, but since DataNerdMPH has already started working on the article I would check in with them to see how the two of you can collaborate on the entry.
