Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Snuyen, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Article draft
[edit]
Hi Sarah
I moved your draft back to User:Snuyen/sandbox. Please point your instructor to that page for grading. You should not be required to move your work to mainspace prior to grading - once it's moved to mainspace it is likely to be changed by others and may be merged with another page. That risk is especially high if your draft isn't ready for mainspace, which yours isn't. Please review pages 7-9 of the Editing Wikipedia brochure and page 15 before you move your edits "live".
Wikipedia has an extensive set of articles related to abortion rights. You need to integrate your article into that collection. For example, there are Wikipedia articles about Republican Majority for Choice and Republicans for Choice. You should seen to connect your article with those instead of linking to the external websites of the group. You also should avoid including lists in your article when a few paragraphs would do the job much better. Also avoid "recentism" - while pro-choice politicians are rare in the modern GOP, they were once much more common and played a bigger role in shaping policy.
