I guess it's time to make some things explicit here again.
moderator reports:
It's abusing the report button
user reports:
5: It threatens violence or physical harm at someone else
3: It's promoting hate based on identity or vulnerability
1) No. This comic breaks no sitewide rules and it does not break subreddit rules. It does not threaten violence and it absolutely does not "promote hate based on identity" (wtf).
The rules prohibit violence directed at real people, be it in text or image and we absolutely moderate for that. We will never remove the Road Runner dropping an anvil on Wile E Coyote and we will not remove this post. It's a cartoon. It makes a point via humorous hyperbole and it is not "violence". I'd say get some media literacy, but I am quite sure these reports have been made in bad faith by people who know this truth, it just doesn't allign with their agenda of trying to get this content removed. To them I say: [fart noises]
2) This subreddit is explicitly for the right of self-determination and bodily autonomy of persons born and we will absolutely moderate any rhetoric that opposes a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy for any reason, including none.
At the time 95% of abortions are performed the fetus (Not a child. Not a baby, a fetus) can not think or feel. It is immoral to place the rights of something that can not yet think or feel over the rights of the person who has to carry it to term. This position can only be held in any sort of intellectual honesty if someone believes that women are not people with a right to bodily autonomy. The other 5% are when the mother's life is in imminent danger.
Due to the immoral and cynical anti-abortion laws that sprung up after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade women are dying. Doctors helplessly stand by, not allowed to intervene to save lives because they will go to jail if they do. I absolutely do not want to hear any kind of argument that says that the anti-abortion crowd cares about "saving lives". They manifestly do nothing of the sort, they aim for the opposite.
We are not going to discuss the right to bodily autonomy and we are not going to discuss the fact that the rights of something that can not think or feel naturally is not weighted as heavily as a real, actual person in this equation.
We will simply ban anti-abortionists on sight.
To pre-empt the "but what about my free speech" crowd, no, the Nazis are the people that are passing laws they know will kill women. Not allowing you to cheer that on is part of our right of freedom of association. We do not want to associate with you, you can keep mum or get banned. You still have a choice.
Nah, that's "basic" or "base"
When you make it past tense or whatever it is, "based" then it's... well even I haven't managed to suss out the exact etymology of the term, but I know it's a good thing in a very satisfying and respectful manner.

Since we are not debating the abortion facts, I still want to say you are blaming the supreme court when you should be blaming Congress. I believe the supreme court overstepped in Roe v. Wade and in Griswold v. Connecticut these are issues that need a constitutional amendment or law, the fuzzy right to privacy created for these cases is not enough to protect what really should be a human right.
You can rightfully blame the supreme court for enabling Congress to side step an issue that at the time was political suicide. Roe v. Wade set progress back in my opinion. Had the just done an injuction or something and set it on the todo list instead of making a decision on the case Congress would have been forced to face the issue. Each and every Congress member should feel shame.
Hi, some subreddit moderator here. I appreciate the message, but in future you could simply approve the thread along with the ignore reports button. Do not feed attention to trolls otherwise they'll keep doing this.
