"commit" abortion. Is that NPOV? Jcwf 03:05, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

aborteren
Even in English the term "commit abortion" would raise eyebrows amongst many. It vertainly should in wikiland because it represents a certain POV (that abortion is/ought to be a crime). Certainly, the Dutch word does not carry that connotation for most of its speakers, so the translation is also inaccurate. Jcwf 22:02, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what you're talking about. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:52, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I imagine is referring to the fact that commit usually is used for negative acts. Changing it to do will do, I think. What do you all think? &#x200b;—msh210℠ 15:24, 8 April 2010 (UTC)


 * I've never heard "do (an) abortion". In my experience the woman has or undergoes an abortion, and the doctor performs an abortion. Just like with less controversial surgeries. But I don't know what "aborteren" or "commit abortion" means, so I don't know which translation is correct. (The first def also leaves it unclear whether you'd say this of the woman or of the doctor.) —Ruakh TALK 15:54, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, I was thinking do sounded wrong, but couldn't think of the right word. Perform, of course, thanks. (Like Ruakh, though, I don't know what aborteren means.) &#x200b;—msh210℠ 16:44, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
