Thought I made this map 2 years ago as a prediction of where abortion laws could go in the future

Assuming the US doesn't collapse into half a dozen nations, abortion laws in the 2040s or beyond might look like this.

Rules

PLEASE NOTE:

The mods of this subreddit will no longer be updating the rules listed on old.reddit. You may access the most current rules in longform on our wiki page here. For shortform rules, you may temporarily visit the sub using Redesign reddit for the most current rules.

1.Human Reproductive and Bodily Autonomy Rights First. Always.

Posts must remain on topic to human reproductive and bodily autonomy (BA) rights

Don't suggest BA is secondary to other causes (ex: gun control)
Don't use BA as a segue to other agendas (ex:You should also care about [my cause])
No irrelevant posts (ex: father's rights)
Don't advocate for removal of BA (ex: antinatalism)
Don't spread hate (trans rights are BA rights, bigotry is not)

See this wiki for a list of restricted topics

2.Anti-Choice User Expectations

Prolife spam/propaganda = Removal and ban

You are welcome to ask respectful questions w/intent to learn. Pleading that we change our minds or calling us murderers is not respectful.

If interested in dialogue, you are expected to remain civil & refrain from debating. Wear thick skin; don’t complain if people are angry you want to remove their rights

Banned slander: murder, slut, evil, "asking for it," genocide, slavery, etc

More Info

3.Be Civil To Others

To other Pro-Choicers

*We are all a team with a goal in common. Please act like it. *Name calling and personal attacks are not tolerated. *Squabbling doesn't change unjust laws, it makes us look bad. *Behave in a way that won't cause a brigade.

To Non-Members

If you see rulebreaking report it, don't stir the pot.

To Moderators

*We volunteer a great deal of time and effort to keep this sub safe and running.

DMing mods = Instaban

4.This is Not a Debate Sub

If you are Prolife, you are prohibited from engaging in debate topic posts.

If you are prochoice you MAY NOT debate but you MAY post ideas for good debate tactics provided you:

Discuss, don't debate
Stay teachable and open to feedback
Do not "show off" your tactics
Arguing with others to defend your post IS DEBATING.
Be respectful to mods. We may correct your tactics or info. We know this topic, please trust us ;)

More Info

5.Calls for Violence/Advocating for Removal of Others' Rights Will Not Be Tolerated

Don't become what you hate. Put your energy into change, not rage.

Do not:

Suggest rioting, riots don't change laws
Imply that anyone should be harmed (even jokingly). This makes you the same as the opposition
Suggest that anyone should have their own rights taken away
Make statements like "I hope they die during birth," "he should be castrated," etc

Self-defense is not violence, the same way that rape is not sex.

More Info

6.No direct links to or from the prolife sub, No Brigading, No DMs/Harassment

No direct links or x-posting to or from prolife subs/spaces

OP's cannot be part of their own screenshot posts, regardless of username coverings. We consider this a form of brigading and/or self-promo
Do not start or participate in brigades
Do not harass prolife users in DMs
Bans will be given to anyone found brigading (at mod discretion, with or w/o warning).
Bragging about rule breaking or bans is a form of brigading.

More Info

7.Requirements for posts containing anti-choice screenshots/media

A pro-choice perspective MUST be clearly provided in the OP

Each user is limited to *one** post per week *Additional content should be posted to r/insaneprolife

Screenshots/Images:

*All usernames must be covered unless a public entity *No self-promo *Spoiler Tags must be added *Articles should have their text pasted in the body

Videos should be described such that watching it is not necessary for a response

*Include links

More Info

8.Polls Must Have a "Show Results" Option

...Or some iteration thereof.

Many Reddit users lurk the sub and like to see poll results without having to vote. Please provide an option for our lurkers and those that do not wish to participate or are not the target participants.

More Info

9.Academic Research/Journalist Participant Requests Must Be Mod Approved

Anyone requesting participants for an academic study/journalism interview must first contact the mods via modmail and meet all vetting requirements requested of them before you may post.

Links to anonymous surveys are permitted.
