All entries from here on out will be defaulted to "Friends Only" and membership is now moderated to help control the influx of trolls/ unfriendly lurkers from coming in.
We have decided to do this due to certian pro-lifers e-mailing and friending people who make public posts here. Hopefully we can go back to open membership soon, as neither me or the other mods are comfortable with judging women who try to post here.
I am also in the process of removing certian lurkers and people who I feel have a high potential to be moles. If you are removed and feel that it has been an error on my part, please contact the mods via e-mail or one of the public posts in
story_mods, not here and not in our private journals.
From this point out, if any of our members are contacted or harrassed via e-mail or comments because of posting here, please save the comments or forward the e-mail and make a report to LJ abuse, and let us know. The people resopnsible for this have been banned from this community a long time ago, but are persistant.
I highly encourage those of you who have no problem with sharing their stories publicly to do so, as this is one of the intentions of the community. You will just have to edit your post to make it public.

Edit: We have also added a new rule to the user info page: 8. No polls or questionairres about members experiences regarding abortion with out prior moderator approval. This approval will be reserved for legitimate polls and groups, not for class presentations and projects.
