unnecessary personal details about child

The article gives the name of one of Jayapal's children as well as revealing personal information. Now, this is in fact backed up by something from a "reliable source" (NBC). But just because some "reliable source" sees fit to print it surely does not mean that the wikipedia can show no discretion. At least, no names should be mentioned i think.

In fact, personal information about the Congresswoman is a good idea --- she certainly seems to have come from a very prosperous family --- but i think information about the children, and especially when naming them, is just not right. Son of eugene (talk) 22:14, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Details on family members from India who have moved to the US

Is it possible to add more details on Jayapal's Indian family members who have come to live in the US. It seems odd that she was able to come to the US and her sister and both stayed on. Are her parents in the US now? Just more family background and history would be interesting. 118.174.192.8 (talk) 02:10, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Did she really say this?

This is just incomprehensible: "Jayapal publicly wrote that she had chosen to abort a pregnancy because the pregnancy would risk her and the unborn child's health"

The abortion didn't risk her unborn child's health? 2001:8003:70F5:2400:ADB7:B16C:9CB9:A85E (talk) 04:09, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
