The sub needs to have resources so that women who are thinking about abortion, can use it to help them if they decide to keep the baby. If you have any resources link them here. We need recourses from all across the globe so if you’re in a different country it’s even better.

Good mourning, there is something that the long time users are aware of that the newer people don’t. Subs have bots that can detect what subs that you comment on, or subscribe to. Mods of various large subs will preemptively ban you for participating here.

The admins do not care or at the very least refused to communicate to us whether or not this behavior from mods is acceptable, so there’s nothing that can be done. However like I said previously, that means we are all going to receive bans, now, later or in the near future. If everyone here were to make a post about it, then it will clog up our feed like it already has. Therefore, all post about the situation will be removed and if you want to say anything use this post. That is all

In the unlikely event that friends or family of Charlie Kirk are seeing this, I want to extend my most profound sympathies to them over this terrible act.

While certain segments of the online community like to mock this sentiment, I can say quite sincerely that you and Charlie are in my thoughts and do have my prayers in this terrible time.

To those of us in the pro-life movement, Charlie is first and foremost someone who did fight for the lives of the unborn in public and made it part of his mission to do so. For that he has my gratitude and respect.

For those of us here who remain, particularly those in this subreddit, the moderation team would like to set some ground rules.

First, we have enough posts about the assassination, we will be removing any new ones posted. You may use the existing posts or this post to discuss the assassination.

Second, we expect that not only will the rules of Reddit be followed in regard to discussing this issue, but also those of common decency. Not everyone agreed with Charlie's views on things like the Second Amendment and other political issues, and this is perfectly okay.

However, this is not a debate forum about the life of Charlie Kirk, it is the prolife subreddit. Posts and comments which spin off into acrimonious debates about those matters will be eliminated and users who persist in them will be warned and if necessary, banned.

Last, but not least, this is the prolife subreddit. While we do not believe the world is suddenly going to stop acting with violence towards fellow human beings, this is not and never will be the place to voice violent rhetoric.

To be clear, I have seen almost nothing to raise that alarm here yet, but it is always important to be aware that violence breeds violence and that we will nip that in the bud here if we see it.

Should you be feeling anger amongst your emotions about this act, this is natural. Turn that energy to fighting back in a constructive way to protect life, rather than on how to punish and do harm. We expect that the perpetrator will be caught and punished via the due process of the law, and that will be justice.

Of course, if you have any questions, please let the moderation team know via modmail.

This is long, but you will want to read it all because it is important we all understand why these changes are being made.

There has been a considerable amount of discussion here about what has been called the Abortion Abolitionist movement.

For a few reasons, this has finally reached a point where the moderation team needs to set some ground rules.

Abortion Abolitionism, as a movement, is an anti-abortion movement which sees itself as having two major differences from the "pro-life movement".

1. An insistence on abortion being made illegal with no exceptions and no incrementalism.
2. A focus on a Biblical worldview, which appears to be defined in Protestant Christian terms.

You can see a more detailed view from their own perspective here: https://freethestates.org/abolitionist-not-pro-life/

By themselves, these points can fit inside of an inclusive pro-life viewpoint, and represent valid discussions that can be had within this group.

This has, up until recently, led the moderation team to consider Abolitionists as just pro-lifers with a particular position which may be agreed or disagreed with on the basis of a shared goal of ending abortion on-demand.

However, we have noted over time that our view may have been somewhat optimistic about the intent of the Abolitionist movement in regard to the pro-life movement in general.

It has been noted that abolitionists tend to focus as much, if not more, blame on pro-lifers for abortion legality as they do on pro-choice individuals.

It is also clear from Abolitionist sites and discussions that Abolitionist viewpoints treat any secular or non-Christian efforts to combat abortion on-demand to be invalid, and even dangerous.

But worst of all, they have suggested that pro-lifers in general are not interested in permanently and completely ending abortion on-demand legality, but want to continue to permit abortion on-demand.

This position seemingly ignores the efforts of millions of pro-lifers over the decades to work to set the groundwork for the end of the entrenched Roe v. Wade decision and others which forced abortion on the United States.

I am not going to debate the truth of those propositions here, since that is a debate of its own.

Strategies like incrementalism vs absolutism are entirely debatable, and indeed, one may be better than the other in specific situations. I encourage us to have those debates.

What I will point out is that this is the pro-life subreddit.

If Abolitionists regard themselves as not being pro-lifers, and the pro-life movement as the enemy, then we have a problem.

As a subreddit, our goal is the end of legalized abortion on-demand and the support of those users and movements who have a similar goal.

While this does not require incrementalism or secularism, people who are pro-life from those perspectives who are honestly fighting for the end of legalized abortion on-demand must be respected as fellow pro-lifers. They deserve to be treated as allies and not as enemies.

Therefore, moderation will be altered in the following respects:

• Abolitionists who choose to identify as opponents of the pro-life movement, or who disparage pro-lifers as a group will be treated as external to the pro-life movement and external to this subreddits primary audience.

• Users who expound Abolitionist views will be subject to Rule 2 and while they will be allowed to continue to post and comment, they will not be permitted to do Abolitionist movement activism or recruitment here, and Abolitionist-specific content will no longer be prioritized as pro-life content here.

• We will NOT be eliminating abolitionist users or treating them as opponents by default. If Abolitionist users simply post generic pro-life consistent comments and posts, they will be approved as before.

• Users who may have adopted the "abolitionist" flairs are not required to change them, but should expect moderators to scrutinize their content. If you just liked the "abolitionist" flair but are not identifying as a member of that movement, it is recommended you switch to a pro-life related flair.

This action is a play to keep the pro-life subreddit inclusive, as opposed to exclusive. There will be no bans of people based solely on their identification as Abolitionists. Moderator action will be confined to rules violations based on the points above.

We recommend that if abolitionists wish to recruit and spread their specific movement's official positions and arguments, that they form their own subreddit for that purpose.

These changes will have immediate effect. Meta discussion of this change will be limited to this post only to keep this discussion organized.

Recently, we’ve seen increasing hostility directed at fellow pro-lifers rather than opposing arguments.

Rule 7 requires us to address arguments, not attack people. This keeps discussion focused, reduces hostility, and prevents flame wars.

Disagreement among pro-lifers is expected. It does not make someone evil, irrational, or a pro-choicer.

For moderation purposes, this is the standard I use when using my discretion to assess whether someone is pro-life under Rule 2:

A pro-life position holds that abortion on demand should not be legal; any exceptions must be grounded in defined, objective criteria that address the right-to-life interests of both mother and child, with medical decisions subject to after-the-fact review under a standard of reasonable medical judgment to ensure compliance with the law’s intent. These criteria are time-neutral: if an exception sufficiently meets right-to-life requirements, the abortion is permissible at any stage of pregnancy; if it does not, it is impermissible at any stage, including from conception.

This is not a rule and does not prescribe a view on enforcement methods, timelines, or specific exceptions. People differ on incrementalism vs. abolitionism and on how exceptions should be defined and these are legitimate areas of debate.

What is not acceptable is gatekeeping: declaring others “not pro-life” because they disagree on strategy or scope. If someone opposes abortion on demand under a framework like the above, they are within the bounds of this community.

As moderators, our role is not to make doctrinal decisions, but to maintain respectful discussion.

If you have been warned about violating these standards and continue, moderation action may follow, up to and including a ban.

Debate pro-life positions freely, including strong or controversial ones, but do not use them as a basis to attack or exclude others.

Challenge arguments. Do not attack or exclude people who are sincerely engaging in pro-life discussion.

In order to keep things fresh, the live chats will now be reset every week on Wednesday! Remember, you don’t have to talk about abortions or politics here. You shouldn’t be talking about other politics, regardless

• What are your favorite movies,
• Have you been outside the country,
• Which are the best sports teams,
• Anime or Manga?
• Anything interesting happen this week?

This chat is your escape, to talk about other things and to further connect with other members of Pro-life. You are not restricted to the topics in the post. Be nice, don’t spam, and have a good time!

Good Wednesday Pro-Lifers! During these distressing times we can get very frustrated with ourselves, friends families and even society. Fret not, because this post is dedicated to you guys discussing a wide range of topics outside of abortions if you need too. Topics such as movies, sports, hobbies, current events or major events happening in the world and maybe even other politics if you choose too. This chat is your escape, to talk about other things as well and to further connect with other members of Pro-life. You are not restricted to any topics in the post, however follow Reddit's guidelines. Be nice, don’t spam, and have a good time. Since I am a bot this message will be repeated every Wednesday.

Many of you have banned from White People Twitter already, and we received numerous post about it every day. There’s nothing anyone can do about it, so from this post on, any post about it will be removed.

So this is the last post to vent about your frustrations on the matter. If anyone has anything else to say do so now, and I’ll start.

It is very ironic how they claim we are misogynistic when they tell our women users what they believe. They will say things like “we don’t accept people who don’t believe in human rights.” Excuse me, you don’t think women are capable of knowing what they believe in? So much so that you got to project on them! You dare to call us misogynistic? Shame shame shame. If a women tells you she believes in something you believe her.

As we move towards Election Day, I'd like to remind people of some important things.

First of all, your vote matters. This election is very, very tight. Even if you think your district or state is a lock for one side or another, you should vote for pro-life candidates.

There are a number of reasons for this.

1. Congressional elections matter as much as the Presidential election this year. Possibly more. Pro-life candidates need to win the Senate and hold on to the House. We are on track to do both by a slim margin, and that will not happen if you do not vote for those Congressional candidates.
2. You should be finding and electing state and local candidates that are pro-life. The future people on the national ballot may be the people you elect in local and state races THIS YEAR.
   
3. It is important to ensure that pro-life candidates are seen as a factor, even in states where there is a decisive advantage for one side or the other. States do change over time and it is important to move your state in a pro-life direction or to keep your state pro-life into the future. Votes are the ultimate means of recording your pro-life preference. They are more powerful than mere polling numbers. They show how many people are willing to actually get off their asses and vote.

Make sure votes count for pro-life candidates everywhere there are pro-lifers, from the deepest red counties to the deepest blue urban areas.

Know the stances of all of the candidates on the ballot on the abortion issue as best as you can determine it. Vote for candidates that are pro-life, even if it is for town or county level offices like clerks or treasurers. You would be surprised where some future candidates come from.

YOU MAY LIVE IN A STATE WHERE YOU CAN BE RELEASED EARLY FROM WORK TO VOTE. Use that right.

Also, even if you don't live in such a state, you can always request time off to vote from an employer.

In either case, do give your bosses more than enough notice, please.

On Election Day....

Do NOT look at exit polls before you go vote. Look at them AFTERWARD.

Why you ask?

Because time and time again, exit polls have been shown to be flawed and people who look at them before they vote either become complacent or start despairing. That means that many of them don't vote.

This have been shown to swing close elections! DO NOT let your feelings about who is winning or losing change your willingness to get to that polling place and place your vote!

Let me say this again for the people in the rear....

IGNORE ALL ELECTION DAY POLLING UNTIL AFTER YOU VOTE!

For those of you who cannot get to the polls, get your mail-in ballots in by the deadline of your state. That may be "received by election day" or "postmarked by election day". I always suggest that you get them in so they are recieved by election day just to be sure they will be counted.

Some of you may not trust in mail in ballots. I don't personally believe that mail-in ballots are necessarily a problem, but I do want to make this clear, if you don't trust mail in ballots, then get your ass to the polls.

IF YOU NEED TRANSPORTATION TO THE POLLS, LOOK INTO SERVICES THAT CAN GET YOU TO THE POLLS. Both parties usually try to run transportation services to get to the polls. And bear in mind, as far as I know, they cannot demand that you be from their party to take advantage of them. So look into all possible transport options.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE REGISTERED! Some states do allow same day registration if you have ID, but don't count on it. Usually if you are registered you will have already received a sample ballot from your local election authority. If you have not, that may be an indication you are not on the election rolls. Take the time to determine this NOW!

REMEMBER YOUR PHOTO ID. Some states don't require photo ID for showing up to vote, and only for the registration, but do NOT count on it.

IF YOU FORGET YOUR ID: Request a "provisional ballot". This will be a vote you cast, but it will not count until you send in proof of citizenship later on. You will have some time to get your proof of citizenship in. Usually a couple of days after the election, but follow election official instructions for your area.

LET THE PARTY FUNCTIONARIES DEAL WITH ANY PERCEIVED ELECTION SHENANIGANS!!! Cast your vote peacefully and in an orderly fashion following all election regulations. Your role is to vote and observe. If you see issues, there are election monitors that will be on site for most elections. Note your observations, bring them to the monitors, and move on. Leave any battles about election fairness to the people prepared to fight those battles legally.

Finally.... let me repeat this. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY CLOSE ELECTION AT A CROSSROADS IN YOUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY.

DO NOT FAIL TO VOTE AND REGISTER YOUR PRO-LIFE VIEWPOINT AND SHOW THAT CONCERN FOR THE RIGHT TO LIFE OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS IS A CRITICAL MATTER FOR OUR NATION!

Thanks for reading. Get out there and let's get this done.

This post represents a rule alteration and alters the existing rules. Where there is conflict between a currently listed subreddit rule and this post, this post takes precedence. We will work to adjust the sidebar rules in the coming days to reflect necessary changes.

Due to recent changes to the Reddit Moderator conduct in September, there are a number of changes that we are required to undertake in our rules as regarding reference to other subreddits and users in our forum.

Although we have long had Rule 3 and Rule 8 which require that we both remove user names from posts and to prevent badge of honor type posts from users who have been banned on other subreddits, this has been apparently been deemed insufficient by the Reddit administration.

At this point, the moderators will be removing all posts and content that references discussions that occur in other subreddits. Content linking to them will be eliminated as well from comments where it is found. We are looking into technical means to remove any content with links to other subreddits so that they can be manually approved by moderators.

Users who persist in making such will be warned and may be banned, as this will not only put the subreddit at risk, but also increases the administrative workload of the mod team. This is not a reflection of the moderation team's opinion of your content as good, bad or indifferent, only a necessity to ensure community rules are followed.

The moderation team has never accepted harassment of other users, and we will continue to maintain that stance. We have hoped that our rules and enforcement of those rules have made that clear without having to unfairly impinge on the free speech of our users.

There is a balance between harassment and valid criticism of the actions of others and Reddit has now deemed that a subreddit should not be a platform for criticism of other subreddits.

Any post containing such material will be removed and a warning will be issued. Any users persisting in such conduct will be warned and may be banned.

I would be lying if I said that I consider the complaint against us to be entirely fair when there seem to be entire subreddits that do nothing other than engage in quoting our comments to deride our users, but I would also be lying if I did not say that I think that posts engaging in that here have not also become tiresome and distracting from our purpose.

The pro-life position is a positive position that seeks to protect human rights. While we accept that on a platform which is generally considered hostile to pro-life views we are something of an oasis, there are limits to how much we can allow venting about that situation to take over discussion. We are here, and we must commit to following the rules, especially if they are made in an attempt to prevent harassment.

Let me be plain. The moderation team does not accept that this subreddit should be used to coordinate rule violations or engage in fights between subreddit and we never have accepted this in the past, either directly or passively. We are fine with that rule and will enforce it without complaint just as we have enforced previous rules along the same guidelines.

Should you discover that such conduct exists in other subreddits in relation to you or this subreddit, do not complain here or to our staff. It is clear that the Reddit Admins are willing to enforce this rule, and therefore a complaint to the Admins is the appropriate forum for such complaints and we suggest that you make use of that route.

On a side note. We cannot prevent individual users from making trouble on other forums. We're not the boss of you, and we don't claim to be.

However, we will likely all suffer if you do not consider that we are the target that will be hit back against when they come looking for you. Fairly or unfairly.

We encourage you to consider that the subreddit offers important resources for pro-life people and we would prefer for it to remain open and under the current team of moderators. Please remain community minded in that regard when you act individually.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation, and keep up the fight to protect the lives of all human beings.

In contradiction to the standards of the Reddit Moderation Guidelines, a considerable number of subreddits have used bot programs which interrogate whether you have participated in this (and some other) subreddits by either posting or commenting, and those bots will then automatically ban you from participating in those subreddits.

Since these bots don't actually ban you for breaking a subreddit rule, and indeed, sometimes you can be banned from a participating subreddit even if you have never so much as visited their subreddit at all, they are a corrosive influence on the principles of free speech and free exchange of information.

These subreddits treat you as though you are assumed already guilty of action that might break their rules and use these bots to control conversation, not by content, but simply by who might be participating.

While subreddits do have the right to set their own rules, and since Reddit itself does not enforce its own Moderation Guidelines, there is little that can be done about this from the moderation angle. Reddit refuses to say much about this, even when directly asked. This silence, of course, equates to their assent, but does not rule out countermeasures.

One effective countermeasure is using the block feature to inhibit the action of those bots by blocking the bot users.

This is effective because now, when you block a user, not only do you not see their content, they no longer see yours. This change to the Reddit blocking mechanism seems unwise from a participation angle, but is well suited to preventing bots like these from following you around.

Two bots that have been identified as taking action like this are the users:

• Saferbot
• Safestbot

A view of their user profile will show you the very large list of subreddits that they are set to be moderators of. Some of them you are likely familiar with, as they may have recently and inexplicably banned you.

We do not suggest nor recommend confrontation with subreddit moderators and we certainly do not want you to break rules of their subreddits. You will not be applauded here for getting banned in some random subreddit for actually breaking their rules, no matter how absurd they might seem to you.

You should be certain that all participation in such subreddits follows their subreddit rules just as we expect visitors to our subreddit to follow ours. It is only fair.

However, it is our view that you have the right to at least expect the moderators of such subreddits to actually act on you for rules you have actually broken, and not preemptively ban you for wrongthink by participating here.

Should any other bot users come to your attention, please let us know and spread the word.

And yes, even if you are a pro-choice user who comments here, you are susceptible to this sort of indiscriminate ban as well from your own compatriots. Feel free to take it up with them, as they certainly won't listen to us.

I know abortion is a very emotional topic. And a lot of us have strong feelings about it. But please refrain from insulting people.

Ive seen a lot of comments lately from both sides that are adding insults in the middle of their arguments.

Just respect one another please :) And focus on the argument not the person.

If you see any types of insults being hurled at someone please report it as you have been!
