I always thought morality was either yes or no. Not relative.
Well I believe it is but some on here seem to be outraged that Dawkins said he would abort a Down's syndrome child but on the other hand, they are fine with a woman aborting a child just because she doesn't want it! To me, you are either outraged because you are against abortion, or you shouldn't be outraged at all. There really isn't any middle ground.

I understand your point, but I can see a distinction here. Even if you're pro-choice, the idea that someone is unfit to live simply because they're "defective" is a scary prospect.
There's also the fact that Dawkins is passing judgment on women who make a reproductive decision he doesn't like. That makes him no better than Rick Santorum.
