I thought I answered the question. what are you talking about?What part of the word hypothetical do you not understand?

Strangle enough I agree with you. I wouldn't express it quite that way, but I agree.I have said this before but it is worth repeating........I think unnecessary abortions (abortions where the mothers life is not endangered) are the most barbaric act one human being can perform on another and the people that have these abortions and the butcher abortion doctors that perform them will someday have to answer to their maker for those barbaric acts.....
May God bless the innocent unborn in the womb...........
Hope you're feeling better soon...and before you post, check over the agenda laced slant of the information so you do not appear as biased and misinformed as the misguded revisionist 1069.
Any person that would Abort due to the projected Sexual Preference of the child should not be a parent in the first place...
I am shocked by the results of this poll that 15 people say its alright to abort a gay childis outrageous.....Shame on you people.........
Well, it's not exactly a nuanced, scientific poll. Half of those answering yes could simply be saying that it's okay to abort a fetus, irrelevant of the fact that it's gay or not. The other half could might have answered yes because they're virulently homophobic. There's no way to know for sure unless everybody who answered yes stepped up to explain their positions.
Well that is not answering the question posed by the poll.....
Assume for a moment that homosexuality is indeed genetic.
Assume for a moment that an unborn child is known to have that gene
Assume for a moment that the parents do not want to take the chance that their child will be a homosexual
It that sufficient reason to abort the unborn baby?
Someone please add a Yes/No poll
Yes - it's none of my business why a couple or a single mother wants to abort their child.
(ancient bump - I couldn't help it.)
No, aborting a gay baby is still murdering a child.
Besides, if a genetic marker for homosexuality is discovered, then the road is open for a cure.

I'm pretty shocked that people think it's ok to abort someone just because they may turn out to be gay.
I wouldn't have thought it possible to see 22 people agreeing on genocide for gays.
If people honestly think abortion to be an elective sort of process, then they can't really say it's not OK. If you can choose to get rid of your baby for whatever reason (which is the attitude of many "pro-choice" people), then the baby being gay is the same as not having money or not wanting the responsibility or anything like that. I would find it quite contradictory in fact if the majority of pro-choice people came out against aborting gay babies.
The same could be said about those who are against abortion. If you are against abortion then the baby hypothetically having a gay gene is not a sufficient reason to kill a baby.

How can you tell if a baby is gay?Sorry for the necromancy-- I haven't looked at this thread for awhile.
As someone who intends to become a parent at some point, I want my hypothetical children to have the best possible life as I understand it. That means, among other things, that I want them to have best possible genetic traits so that they do not begin their lives already at a disadvantage. I will use any means at my disposal to ensure this.
Hopefully, by the time that my children will reach puberty, homosexuality will not carry the stigma that it does today. However, even without the vast social disapproval-- which I do not think will lessen considerably by then-- homosexuals are still disadvantaged by a smaller pool of sexual partners and considerable inconvenience related to reproduction.
If there were something I could do-- without harming them-- to ensure that my children did not bear such a burden, of course I would do it. Since they are not my children until they are born and named-- and I am named their father-- then aborting fetuses with this trait accomplishes that goal.
I wish the technology were better. There are traits I am far more concerned about than homosexuality that I would like to protect my children from.
Of course, I do not think homosexuality is genetic. My suspicion is that it is caused by prenatal hormone changes-- and I do not know if it even could be detected prenatally.
it's legal.Assume for a moment that homosexuality is indeed genetic.

you can't equate the rule of law with my personal morality. for me, no, that would not be a sufficient reason. but however distasteful to me, it would be legal.I am pro-life and I dont ever think a baby should be aborted unless the mother's health is in danger. However, I am curious to see the responses of all these pro-choicers who say a mother should be able to have an abortion no matter what for anything (and if not now, why not?). I wonder if that opinion will stay consistant.
