This article is a stub with no references, and it is redundant to Unsafe abortion (where it has its own section) and Abortion law. ☣Yutsi ^Talk/ Edits 02:50, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and redirect to Abortion law. Illegal abortion is not necessarily unsafe, per se. An abortion can be done where it is not permitted by law, but still be performed with all the safeguards of an abortion done in a place where it is legal. Granted, illegality is probably more likely to make abortion unsafe, but this can be addressed in the articles on Abortion law and Unsafe abortion. There is, as noted, nothing sourced to be merged. bd2412 T 03:19, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~I think I created this precisely because because there was no distinction with Unsafe abortion.~~ [see below] All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 10:14, 18 March 2019 (UTC).[reply]

Delete. Redundant to at least two other articles & their content. Shearonink (talk) 03:35, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have temporarily set this page as a redirect, however the section in "Unsafe abortion" is appalling from an encyclopaedic viewpoint. I think that it needs to removed, and will do so next. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 10:22, 18 March 2019 (UTC).[reply]
Job done! This discussion can surely now be closed. The creator and main editor of the article nominated for deletion has elected to turn it into a redirect. Alarichall (talk) 11:18, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
