This tribe currently seems to have no moderator.
This is not a good thing, especially with a topic that can get emotional, and posts could get inappropriate.

If nobody else wants the role to be a moderator, I will happily do this in a non-combative way, ensuring there is appropriate respect to all members of the tribe while ensuring no (relevant) viewpoint is suppressed.

As a reference of my ability, I am the moderator of other "hot topic" tribe such as:

• Conflict Diamonds tribes.tribe.net/conflictdiamonds
      against slavery and human right violations in Africa, in the mining of diamonds

• Inactivism intactivism.tribe.net
      against male circumcision as standard practice in the USA, and to enable parents to understand facts vs myths

and I feel these tribes are fairly stable and respectful. I moderate other tribes (see my profile, scroll almost to the end).

I generally log into tribe daily (if not more often), so moderation will not become inactive.

But... I am a guy, you may feel the topic of abortion debate may be more appropriate for a women to moderate this tribe, and if you feel that, then please can someone step up, but I'd like to remind you that moderation of a tribe is not to subvert nor control the topics posted, but to ensure discussions keep a level of respect with everyone here, and to remove posts (and maybe even members) who disrespect the freedom of speech and debate, eg when people post insults of others, and not discuss the topic at hand.
Also moderation means to remove spam/irrelevant postings too. So maybe being female is not really a prerequisite, but I respect the consensus of the group.

If you feel I'd be acceptable to moderate this tribe, please reply here and say so.
When we have enough agreement, tribe staff can be contacted so we have a moderator.

Thanks.
