Your anti-natalism and pro-abortion views have had a very wide reach 
[1][2][3] from pieces on your site and so on. Relative to that the 
number of people learning about it from a section of glibc manual is 
minuscule. As this is not an effective place to proselytize, removing it 
from there will not hinder the good you aim to do with it. On the other 
hand it is such a deeply personal and in many causes traumatic 
experience that may be very upsetting to suddenly be exposed to in a 
strange mocking way, removing it would make glibc less painful to work 
with for some people.

It would be advisable to have empathy for the struggles we do not 
personally go through and if possible involve women in this 
conversation.

Lastly I would like to ask, must one have the same political views as 
Stallman to be part of the GNU project? What if we simply believe in the 
four software freedoms, is that not enough? Should members who are 
against abortion (this includes vegans) be excluded?
