The implications of the joke as implying anti-abortion views are invalid are probably a bit Americentric.

It's *very* hard in US politics to imagine someone injecting their views in this hamfisted way in the wrong forum as believing anything except that the opposing views are fundamentally invalid. This is because these views are so often extremely strident and because one who was more interested in discussion of the topic would not intrude in such a way.

This is not to say that I personally believe RMS feels this way. I have no real idea. But I do think it's how it reads, which makes it pretty derailing.
