Abortion in Sint Maarten

[edit]

Created by 97198 (talk). Self nominated at 11:34, 16 August 2014 (UTC).

New enough and long enough. I'm concerned that the article effectively relies on a single source: two publications from the same author. The lead's second sentence, "Despite this, In Sint Maarten, a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, foreign policy is set by the Netherlands but all other laws including those related to abortion are self-determined." seems to be missing words (despite what?). Verified the hook in the given source; it might be worth mentioning that these are two countries on the same island. Mackensen (talk) 19:51, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

@Mackensen: I've expanded the article a bit with info from another source, and I've fixed that very dodgy sentence in the lead. I've added ALT1 which explains that the countries share an island if you think that's better. Thanks. 97198 (talk) 12:54, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Looks good to me. Thanks for the quick response. Mackensen (talk) 12:57, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
