The following are exceptions and provisions to this rule:

• Abortion: Support of abortion is not banned under this rule. An exemption is made for this specific issue due to the controversial, contentious, and widely-debated context. We want to foster open-debate as much as possible, and this includes topics such as abortion. However, condoning abortive eugenics, abortion "rituals", forced abortions, partial-birth abortions, or post-birth infanticide is indeed banned under this rule. Moderators may have discretion in whether or not to allow the support or toleration (but not promotion or celebration) of such conduct in the context of a serious abortion debate.

• Death Penalty: Some may consider the death penalty to be a form of murder. However, similar to the issue of abortion, we do not ban people based on their position on this topic due to its contentious and widely-debated nature. Supporting the death penalty for protected characteristics falls under RULE 4A.
