This article has been mentioned by a media organization: Katherine Tangalakis-Lippert and Hannah Getahun (April 8, 2023). "Texas judge's ruling to ban mifepristone nationwide cites Misplaced Pages, contains pro-life talking points, and gets basic facts about abortion wrong: Experts say it's 'completely flawed'". Business Insider. Retrieved April 8, 2023. In addition to citing the Misplaced Pages definitions for both "pregnancy" and "disease" in his ruling, Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk falsely claimed abortion medication "ultimately starves the unborn human until death" and made sweeping generalizations about the psychological impact of abortions on women who receive them — which health care providers told Insider aren't accurate.

Ideal sources for Misplaced Pages's health content are defined in the guideline Misplaced Pages:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) and are typically review articles. Here are links to possibly useful sources of information about Pregnancy. PubMed provides review articles from the past five years (limit to free review articles) The TRIP database provides clinical publications about evidence-based medicine. Other potential sources include: Centre for Reviews and Dissemination and CDC

Person(s)/people with uteruses

Instead of using the words "female" and "woman", can we just use the phrases "people with uteruses" and "person with a uterus"? And then we can also specify that such people can get pregnant if they have a functional uterus. This is perhaps the most inclusive we can be, including all people who have uteruses whether they cis or trans, woman and/or man and/or non-binary and/or agender.

How about this sentence as the lead: >Pregnancy is the time during which a person with a functional uterus develops one or more offspring (gestates) inside their uterus (womb)

I also strongly agree with @Sideswipe9th regarding this discussion. — CrafterNova  11:13, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

The "people with body parts" language, though anatomically accurate, is often seen as dehumanizing and as ignoring the social components.

Think about the intersectionality that results in excess maternal mortality for Black women in the US. The shockingly high perinatal death rate is not because they're humans who, as a matter of ordinary biological variation, happen to have uteruses and melanin. It's because of their social race and their social gender: they're Black women who live in a society that values this social type of person less than other social types of people. To erase their gender is to pretend that gender doesn't matter. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:11, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Agreed with WhatamIdoing. Also, when we look at how sources (especially WP:MEDRS) as a group talk about this topic, the vast majority simply refer to "women"; it is not the place of Misplaced Pages editors to go against this. This especially holds true when it comes to specific claims that go deeper than "who can get pregnant"; most of the studies that have been done and which we cite really are about women specifically, and not trans men or nonbinary people, even though biological differences between the two (such as hormone levels from hormone therapy) may plausibly exist and affect pregnancy. We cannot commit WP:OR and extend these statements to be about non-women. Crossroads 00:34, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
