We are announcing a temporary moratorium on posts related to abortion, the Supreme Court and the leaked draft. We will review this before the weekend, and may post a megathread, but our current expectation is that a moratorium outside a megathread will last until the full release of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health order, or further news or statements from the Court provide a more complete story which will make us reconsider.

This is a historic moment, and we recognize that. There has not been a decision leak from SCOTUS in nearly 40 years, and never in history has a draft been leaked. Discussions about just this relatively apolitical event might have been welcomed.

However, adding in the very contentious issue of abortion, a draft that is months old, and lack of any official news or statements, the comments and posts we have seen so far are not constructive to the purpose of this subreddit.

We must stress that while this is a subreddit about our culture, it is not a current events, debate, political news or conspiracy subreddit. People are understandably having very strong responses to this, and looking to vent with like-minded others. We try to keep things civil here, and part of that is waiting until there is more information and people are less reactionary to this shocking event.
