Criteria marked are unassessed

1. Well-written

• In Togo, abortion is only legal in the cases of pregnancy... Remove the word "the" before cases in this sentence.
  • Done.
• By 1990, the lift of abortion restrictions had not increased the availability of services. Change to "lifting"
  • Done.
• The head of prenatal care at the Tokoin Teaching Hospital in Lomé, Boukari Amina, said the law "will fix a lot of things." Can you specify what "a lot of things" means?
  • Removed the quote, as the source doesn't give enough detail to interpret what this quote means without original research.
• In countries including Togo, U.S.–linked anti-abortion groups have set up centers disseminating misinformation related to abortion in th3 2020s. Typo here- should be "the".
  • Fix3d.
• Abortion is a factor in reduction of birth rates in the city. Add "the" before reduction
  • Done.
• Introduce the USAID acronym the first time it is used.
  • Done.
• PAC access for young people improved. Can you make this claim more specific- how much did it improve?
  • Specified that the improvement was based on providers' understanding.

2. Verifiable
No issues with the reference layout, and the sources used are reliable. Earwig's does not indicate any initial red flags for copyright. Spot check: 1, 2, 6, 10, 14, and 21 all support the information cited and are not plagiarized.

3. Broad
This article covers the major aspects of the topic without going into unnecessary detail.

4. Neutral

• A French law from 31 July 1920 banned abortion unless it threatened the life of the mother and banned birth control propaganda. Unless you can specify what the "propaganda" they banned was, I would change this to something more neutral like ...banned the promotion of birth control usage.
  • Makes sense, done.

5. Stable
I have looked through the talk page and edit history to verify stability.

6. Illustrated
There aren't any images to evaluate.
