General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

So... People are rightfully upset at foetus being ripped apart, and the answer is to infringe freedom of protest? How is this okay??
Alternative take: People should be able to undertake one of the hardest personal decisions/actions of their life without the chilling effect of others.
What I don't understand is why it's legal to kill your child before it's born but not after. It doesn't make sense.
If you deny women access to abortion related healthcare, they die. Abortion bans ruin lives, and if you really have to protest abortions (which you shouldn't), direct your attention towards politicians, instead of harassing women who need healthcare and are already having a horrible time.
The article you posted showed how a woman and her unborn children tragically died from a botched abortion. Her death had little to do with the abortion ban. In fact, if abortion was banned nationally, her life would have been saved.
As for politicians- they don't listen. So being able to convince these distressed women that there's other options and help available is our best method.
