Soliciting feedback. [View all]
Greetings. Apologies if this is considered an intrusion, and I will delete the thread if it is considered disruptive, with apologies in advance.
In the religion forum, a thread has been percolating about a prominent atheist (Richard Dawkins) and something he said yesterday. In the process of discussing it, I shared a hypothetical opinion that I need to know if it crosses any lines, because I was challenged directly on it.

Just to keep it in context, I am not supporting or excusing Dawkins or his exhortation to abort in that situation, I merely opined that knowing what I know about me, if I were hypothetically in that position, I would choose not to be a parent. I am not trying to salt your assessment of what I said, and whether it is valid for a male to have an opinion on that issue, in any way beyond that, just that I spoke to what I believe I would do, and nothing else.
Is this genuinely unacceptable for a male to do? Please be as blunt as you like, I will not take it personally. I need to know if I am actually off-base here. I am not attempting to create a flame-fest here, or score some points, just looking for feedback.
