As is stated in the title, I created and moderated !prolife@lemmy.world. According to the modlog, this community was removed 10 days ago. The modlog doesn’t show me who removed the community. I understand the community wouldn’t necessarily be everyone’s cup of tea, but the actions taken seem improper.
EDIT
After making my case via email to info@lemmy.world, I received the following response:
“We would rather not have a prolife community on our instance. We were getting a lot of reports about it and we have enough on our plate. I’m sure you can find an instance that better suits your needs.”
This community was incredibly small (19 subscribers), had less than 10 postings, and had several waves of trollings. Yet, the admins of lemmy.world would rather do away with this community than bother to review if it has broken any rules or is the target of trolling/bullying. I take nothing away from the right to run their instance as they see fit. Perhaps the Code of Conduct should also explicitly state “we reserve the right to do anything we want, regardless of any published rules”.
You appear to think abortion is the act of killing the fetus. This is wrong. Abortion is the act of removing the fetus from the womb.
It would be more comparable to removing a braindead human “vegetable” from life support.
By contrast, a staunch pro-life view endangers actual living breathing humans, by denying essential health care to those with non-viable pregnancies.
So, yes, pro-choice communities exist, because being pro-choice is the morally correct path. Anyone guided by critical inquiry instead of childish ick factor will arrive at this conclusion.
“You appear to think abortion is the act of killing the fetus. This is wrong. Abortion is the act of removing the fetus from the womb.”
So what typically happens when you remove a fetus (with a heartbeat, brain activity, and arguably, a functioning CNS) from the womb? It dies.
While I believe you are almost completely wrong, it’s your right to discuss it. It’s mine to disagree. However, one side can’t discuss their beliefs if the other side who controls the button says no.
You’re saying that abortions are used to end non-viable pregnancies. I’m saying that there are millions of people who do it because they just don’t want the product of their intercourse. Some abortions I can accept, in very specific circumstances, but we will still never agree.
