I removed the tag, because it was obviously put there wrongly. Saying that banning abortion only makes it more dangerous to the mother, not lessens the incidence of abortions is a well evidenced statement, and the article backs up the statement comprehensively with sufficient citations of said evidence in the article. I would not be suprised if the weasel words tag was inserted by an anti-abortionist in a typically weaselly attempt to muddy the waters and wrongly discredit the article.178.167.254.75 (talk) 11:54, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-02-09T11:54:00.000Z","author":"178.167.254.75","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-178.167.254.75-2015-02-09T11:54:00.000Z-Removal_of_weasel_words_tag","replies":[]}}-->

This section was lacking recent statistics, and has now been updated to include these. We also found that the language in this article is specific to women, but not all people who receive abortions are women, so we updated it to be more gender neutral. We also edited the wording and grammar of this section to be more easily accessible.

The information in the section previously called opposition, but now called pro-choice movement, is largely outdated and my group has found information on this topic that is more recent and accurate to the current conditions of the pro-choice movement in the Dominican Republic.
