Internet freedom I can easily understand, no sense declaring fredom of speech when the written word is stiffled across a new medium, right. Gun rights I can see, they're guarenteed in the Constitution and in an cold world they seem to be a cold necessary. Anti-censorship falls with freedom of speech as does religous freedom and so should obviously be protected. But to my knowledge, there is little debate about denying the right of people to reproduce! I've heard that with very controlling governments such as China there are issues of reproductive rights, such that if a couple exceeds a set number of allowed children with a new pregnancy, the child in womb is snuffed out ("aborted") forcibly to enforce the limit.
But in any case, such subjects (religion, guns, and "fetus cleasing") are not really geek issues and I think most would agree with my saying they have no place being mentioned here at all, so let's stick to what we all appreciate, tech!
