The FSF actively speaks out against censorship and talking about
abortion rights and censorship regarding it is within its scope. That
is not true for the GNU project because nothing in the GNU project,
especially its manifesto has any mention of censorship or fight against
censorship as its goal. So within the context of the GNU project, this
abort joke is literally the only thing that mentions abortion rights and
censorship without any context whatsoever other than the fact that the
function happens to be named abort.
In other words, there is no ideological relationship of the abortion
rights joke with the GNU project unless you or RMS decide to add it.
