John, didn't see your post at Mithril Hall so I can't comment on why it was deleted. I do know Lady Nightshade quite well and I know that her and the mods there are very fair people and do a very good job.
Keep in mind that Mithril Hall as well as Ironworks are privately owned forums and that the admins of these forums are entirely within their rights to determine what can and cannot be posted on their boards. The moderators, as part of their function to act as forum leaders selected by the admins, also have that right and members need to respect that - it's why they're moderators.
Finally, all this flaming and complaining about abortion does not belong in this thread anyway. If you want to create a topic on abortion, do so on a separate thread - and I or one of the other moderators will decided on it based on its merits - as we do with every other thread here. Please respect our decision, regardless of what that is.
