I just think its best to be plain-spoken as opposed to.. dishonest.
Retards seem to be anyone who is dumb in the head, but its not their fault. The way they were born.
Whats wrong with calling them retards? Its not a curse.. just a fact of life
The word retard is a derogatory insult and is defined as such in most dictionaries. Also, calling someone a retard or "dumb in the head" is dishonest and inaccurate. There many different types of mental disorders to describe what might be affecting a person or causing them to think or behave differently from the average person.
To answer the op. There is no atheistic stance on mental disorders or abortion. All atheists have a lack of belief in gods. We don't share any other opinions as an entire group. Personally, I am pro-choice regardless of the disability status of the fetus. It should be the woman's choice and it's none of my business why she makes it.
