Generally speaking, I think Dawkins is of sound mind and from what I have read and heard, I largely agree with the arguments he makes. However, this particular tweet just struck me as a little too callous and extreme. He seemed to be advocating the kinds of views that were all too common in Nazi Germany. We all say things sometimes in the wrong way or in an amended condition and maybe this was his turn. He has since semi-retracted his view, or tried to expand on it, but I still don't really agree with him. However, one strong view I have is that if you are to become a parent then you should be able to afford it and be in a stable relationship. I say that from the point of view of the child though and that should be considered before pregnancy.
