"People were so primitive in the 21st century"
My pick: Abortion.
It's inevitable that some of the things we do will be viewed by futurites as primitive, backward or even savage.
While I am completely committed to the idea and spend money to support, I think it will be easy for future generations to look back on the idea that they we were killing fetus/unborn babies, etc. etc.
In a moment of honesty, I may be forced to admit that my opposition to abortion restrictions is more a matter of (oh, the agony of honesty) identification with the plight of young men who do not want a child, and the elitism of not wanting babies born to teen mothers. These aren't morally strong (or truly, even morally defensible arguments) but I'm willing to stand by them even at personal cost to me.
