I'm not saying that ICANN should only approve what is approved by 
everyone. It should not reject only what is rejected by everyone, 
though. There needs to be dialogue, consensus building and, in the end, 
an attempt to respect everyone's opinions.

Still, while I see the outrage and strong sentiments that such a 
proposal would stir, I fail to see what would be the advancement in 
rights determined by hosting a discussion on abortion at 
www.pro.abortion rather than at www.proabortion.com. I take the 
consideration about personal freedom, but I also see some people's 
private sensitivities being harmed with no practical gain. I have no 
final opinion on this, but I can't help wondering what's the point of that.
