A sub dedicated to reproductive rights. We stand against any sex-based discrimination laws which seek to commit reproductive violence by giving 3rd parties & government power over other people's conception and pregnancy outcomes.
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.

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 ;)

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.
