Question about lead

Latest comment: 2 months ago4 comments2 people in discussion

Why is the lead on this page so different from American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. What is the difference between the organizations? Why is one called a “conservative advocacy group?” well the other is called a “ US Professional organization”? Is there any reason for such contrast, as they seem like(based solely on what I read in their articles)they are the same in all areas except for membership number and political position. Can someone please explain? I will post a mirror version of this question On the talk page of the referenced article. Cannolorosa (talk) 23:48, 18 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

One is a pseudoscience-peddling fringe group, the other is a bona fide medical organization. tgeorgescu (talk) 02:42, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Pro life is not fringe. And overwhelming majority of Americans support at least some restrictions on abortion. An overwhelming with majority also does not support a 100% ban. what pseudoscience do they pedal? Also, why is advocacy group in the head for one, but not the other despite both groups advocating their respective positions on the issue of abortion?

Agreed, pro life is not fringe, because it is a moral choice, it has nothing to do with pseudoscience. Apart from being pro life, ACP peddles pseudoscience. tgeorgescu (talk) 19:15, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
