In this article published by The Seattle Times a third party organization in 2018, the article describes Marcy Bloom's push for women rights for abortion against Trump policies. In the article, Marcy Bloom was described as a hardcore Pro Choice activist and she did whatever she had to in order for her voice to be heard and she wanted to inform people to know what they are voting for. For example in the text it states " Bloom knocked on doors and handed out literature. “Everyone did a little bit of everything,” she said, including making sure voters understood the language of the initiative, and knew to fill in a “yes” response (wording in initiatives can sometimes make this ambiguous)". Another moment Marcy Bloom made a key point regarding her envision on politics for pro choice was seen in the article.For example, in the article the text states " Activists like Bloom were concerned about challenges to abortion at the national level, with reproductive rights taking “center stage in U.S. politics” and an increasingly organized backlash fomenting against legal abortion". This ultimately shows Marcy Bloom's dedication in order to achieve what she thinks is right for the greater good of women's rights for abortion.

In this article published by an Archive of Seattle Times, the article described why Marcy Bloom believes abortion is a moral right, and not evil. For example, in the text it states " She has described it instead as a "normal and common" experience in the lives of women — a "moral good" that saves lives and prevents unwanted children". Thus, it describes why Marcy Bloom is such a hardcore activist for saving lives of unwanted children that women do not want from abortion. In addition the article talked about Marcy Bloom's young life and when she first started to become intrigued on women's rights. "Bloom grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., with talk of human rights at the dinner table. Even so, she said, her parents seemed to prime the girls only for marriage. She went to college anyway, got a master's degree, and settled into a career in women's health care".

Bibliography

As you gather the sources for your Wikipedia contribution, think about the following:

Is the source from a reliable publication?
- Reliable publications include established newspapers, academic journals and books, textbooks, and other published sources with reputations for accuracy and fact-checking.
- Unreliable sources include blog posts and other self-published works, press releases, and social media posts.
Is the source verifiable?
- In order for a source to be considered verifiable, other editors should be able to consult the source.
Is the source independent of the subject?
- Is the source connected in any way to the subject? This is especially important when writing biographies or about organizations.
- For example, if you were writing a biography, sources like the person's webpage or personal blog would not be considered independent.
Is the source primary or secondary?
- Primary sources include first-hand accounts, autobiographies, and other original content.
- Wikipedia allows limited use of primary sources, but typically only for straightforward, descriptive statements of facts, and only if they are published and verifiable without requiring specialized knowledge.
- Secondary sources should be the main basis for a biography on Wikipedia.
If you're working on a topic related to medicine or psychology, ensure that your sources follow these special guidelines.
If you're creating a new article, consider the following:
- Ensure that your topic meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines.
- In order for a topic to meet the notability requirement, you must be able to identify 2-3 sources that are reliable, verifiable, and independent of the subject you're writing about.
- Finding sufficient sources to establish notability can be especially hard when writing about people or organizations.
- Sources that are not independent of the subject might be useful additions, but don't count towards the notability requirement.
- Wikipedia has developed special guidelines for writing about living persons. Please follow these carefully.
- Wikipedia has a series of guidelines for writing about different categories of people, such as academics and artists. If you're trying to create a new entry about a living person, please look at these carefully.
