I've been arguing with this guy on a Pro-Life project about why abortions should be legal, and I was wondering if he's allowed to do a project on Pro-Life, am I allowed to do a pro- Medical Marijuana project? Just asking, I couldn't figure it out based on the rules.

First of all, abortions are downright terrible! SEcond, no you can't make a game on drugs! Also, it will be removed and you may get kicked off if you do.

It's always an interesting conversation when the talk of what's offensive comes up! Because what's offensive to one person may not necessarily be offensive to somebody else.

I think this lands in the area of a definite "maybe". We certainly don't want to see any projects encouraging our members to do something illegal. But if you want to put forth arguments why something should be legal - and it was done in a sensitive fashion it might be okay. Why don't you put it up and send an email to help@scratch.mit.edu, or drop me a comment and we can take a look at it and come to a decision?

Alright, I just uploaded the project if you could please check it out.

And turkey3, that's a matter of opinion. If someone believes that a person isn't alive until their born, then abortions aren't wrong in that persons opinion. Obviously you think a persons alive from conception, so you think abortions are always wrong.

I'm not going to voice my opinion on abortion, but if you want to debate about that I'd say scratch isn't the place for it.

You pose a good point. This kind of stuff isn't any better than most of the arguments going on today. There's always going to be a sensitive subject that will never truly be resolved.

I remember reading somewhere that you can't post flamebait on scratch. I haven't seen this project, but if it seems like it's going to end in an argument I don't see anything wrong with reporting it or just having a word with the project creator.
Take the age group into account as well. A lot of these users are 8-15 years old. Half of them don't fully know what they're talking about, if you'll excuse my generalization.

It'll probably be allowed, but marked NFE. I'm not sure, though.

The Scratch website is not the place for political things, but if you can do it respectfully enough without provoking too much argument, sure.
