Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Fun fact: a sperm cell is exactly as much a person as an egg cell is. Same stage of development and everything. Sperm banks even store them in the same way that IVF clinics store eggs. Looking forward to the Every Sperm is Sacred bill.
Nah, sperms are different, they are in a man and thus can't be used to control and denigrate women you see?
Sperm can absolutely be used to denigrate women.
That's the real reason for their scientifically arbitrary distinction, yes.
If something is living inside of you, feeding off of you – it’s a parasite.
Technically, it could be symbiosis. But not in this case.
As a woman who still has her uterus and ovaries but who has gone into the "it's dangerous to get pregnant at your age" territory: I'm scared shitless. My last pregnancy ended in a stillbirth and that in and of itself has scared me. I feel horrible for being thankful that it happened months before RvW got overturned. I'm just ready to get everything removed so there's not even an iota of a chance of pregnancy.
You should be scared. It is a fucked up situation.
Vote, avoid red states, yell at organized religion, and do whatever you need to protect yourself.
I love going to the park and seeing all the little embryos playing on the playground...
