I would like to be sure that a choice forum remains on DU3

We've got an awesome group to regulars who post in Choice. In today-world we have "Choice" and "Pro-choice". On DU3, I only see "Pro-choice". I am ok with just one.... but if we have to live with just one it would be the one where anti-choicers are not welcome.

if you don't like abortion, don't have one, but isn't it a Democratic value for people to make their own decision?

That said I think the reality is that a group is needed! So I subscribed, although in the old DU I never spent much time in most of the groups including this one.

that there are people who call themselves "liberal" and yet are anti choice.

the way that it supports other political minorities--i.e., allowing anti-women (anti-choice) posts.

Now, we don't have to allow that sort of thing anymore because the COMMUNITY decides what's acceptable and what's not. If you see a post by someone anti-choice, you are allowed to alert on it as a community standards violation and let a jury decide. Since DU is about 90% supportive of choice, the odds that the anti-choice crap will be hidden are quite high.

I like the new DU *much* better.
