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
 
This might be one of the worst questions I have ever heard.
 
Are you being serious?:shock:

Well if you are the answer is no . . . aborting a baby just because it's gay would be sick.
 
Assume for a moment that bigotry is indeed instilled by the parents.
Assume for a moment that an unborn child is known to have bigotted parents.
Assume for a moment that society do not want to take the chance that the child will be raised to hate.

It that sufficient reason to abort the unborn baby?
 
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.

If it is acceptable to abort a child because it is unwanted, then exactly why it is unwanted becomes irrelevant and it is thus okay to abort a baby because it is __________.

Don't want a girl?
Don't want a mixed race?
Don't want a handicapped child?
Don't want brown eyes?
Don't want dark hair?
Don't want a heterosexual?

.....gattaca....

It's her body, her choice, right?

Who are you to be so judgmental and force her to comply with your morals?

If a woman wanted to abort a gay fetus, you would force her to become a slave and raise her unwanted gay baby?

You don't sound very Pro-Choice suddenly.

So... its not her body, her choice?

Seriously Jerry....do I need to place a sarcasm banner around my posts before you read them? The poll is rather silly,as was my reply....ON PURPOSE. You really need to go get laid ,dude.

OK...heres your serious reply:


It is none of my business why a woman decides to abort a pregnancy. And unless it is Illegal, and you are assigned to enforce the laws....it is none of yours either.
 
And unless it is Illegal, and you are assigned to enforce the laws....it is none of yours either.

Should it be illegal to abort a potentially gay baby because the parents dont want to take the chance of having a gay child?
 
Nope....wouldn't dream of it. Just making fun of you.
I asked a legitimate question in the hopes of generating debate -- and you react by making fun of me?

In my opinion, No....it should not be illegal. People willdo as life guides them to do, and I am not someones conscience....now am I?
 
I'm pro-birth of gay babies!:2wave:

My apology....it was uncalled for I suppose....guess the question didnt strike me as serious.

Heck no! It's THEIR bodies! In no other circumstance is a woman allowed to kill another just because she decides to except when she chooses to kill her own unborn child.

I think once conceived, life is your INDIVIDUAL, INALIENABLE, and UNIVERSAL right--whether you can voice that right or not. The writers of the Declaration of Independance and the founders of the US constitution said it was "self-evident." IOW--No Duh.:mrgreen:
 
It's the mother's choice.

Do I think it's ok? No I don't. If criminal insanity, Islamic fascist, or conservative Christianity were also gene's that could be tracked I would also say it was not OK to abort the baby that had these. However, it is not my place or anyone else's to dictate to someone else how they should live their lives.

So the child molester next door to you says he's gonna rape your neice...what are you going to say?

By aborting a baby just because he might be gay -- arent you doing just that?
 
Pro-life people don't care if parent's kill their children slowly by feeding them McDonald's everyday, or force them to grow up in a home that is unfit and could lead to drug or alcohol abuse, which could later lead to the deaths of a number of people at the hands of this child.

Why the fascination with these children before they are born?
