An Atheist should not be expected to have an opposition to abortion.

If anything, an atheist should not have a reasonable opposition to selective breeding or eugenics.

They should fully support the policies of breeding a superior human species.
Killing off the less intelligent and genetically deficient.

That would be the most reasoned thought for someone who believes in evolution with no afterlife.

The lack of belief in a higher power or an afterlife does not restrict atheists from believing in and fully embracing the moral and ethical ideals of the society they were raised within. The concepts you state atheists should “not have a reasonable opposition to” run counter to American ethical ideals.

Just because atheists don’t have a religiously-based opposition to “policies of breeding a superior human species” or “Killing off the less intelligent and genetically deficient,” does not mean they don’t oppose it for other reasons.

You are creating a false binary in order to imply atheists should be up for anything simply because they fear no deity. This is false.
