See for yourself:

At Thu Nov 14, 2013, 03:50 AM you sent an alert on the following post:

It's just so horrific to have to kill an unborn child. Yet, I support pro-choice.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4030493

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

YOUR COMMENTS:

Calling abortion "murder" is pure RW talk. This implies by default that every woman who had abortion is a murderer. Every person who support abortion is supporting a murder. Adding afterwards that they 'support pro-choice' sounds like a cover-up to avoid their post being hidden.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Thu Nov 14, 2013, 04:07 AM, and voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: op did not use the word murder. today someone will be killed in a car accident. someone will be killed in war. you are putting your ideas on to one word. would it be better for you if op said a child will die? the next paragraph is not right wing at all.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: This kneejerk bullshit and reading things into posts has gotten way out of hand.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The writer could have used a less inflammatory wording than "A child is killed." Many pro-choice advocates would probably prefer not to think of the embryo having the potential to be a human being. But there is that potential and I do not think that the writer meant any harm. He/she just used poor word choices.


Lets see now if admins will clarify their and official DU position on this topic.
