It is funny how groups who you would assume are pro-choice are starting to get it. The Women’s Bioethics Project (a pro-choice think tank) is starting to understand that pre-natal diagnosis and abortion is killing of a disproportionate amount of women all over the world. I got this from the Women’s Bioethics Project Blog:"Yes, you are reading that right, folks. A team of fertility specialists at Baylor College of Medicine in Texas will be conducting a trial that involves pre-implanation genetic diagnosis (which has only been used, until now, to identify serious disabilities and potentially life-threatening conditions) to find out why people might select one sex over another. And people are clamoring to get in: there have already been 50 inquiries from would-be parents asking to participate. Can it really be that this is a worthwhile research question? And are we really including selective termination of “wrong-sex” embryos as part of an empirical research protocol? Rumors have been floating around for some time (see Linda Glenn’s earlier blog post re the “GenderMentor” test) that existing direct-to-consumer, mail-order prenatal tests, purportedly designed to help future parents plan for the arrival of their wanted child of either sex (Hmm, shall I buy the pink sleeper or the blue one?), have in fact been used as the basis for sex-based terminations.Just in case you thought the no-girl-babies problem was something that only happened in other countries. . . .

So much for women’s rights. They can’t have their cake and eat it too!

We have a wonderful billboard in town that says “1771 female babies aborted a day. Pro-woman? I don’t think so!” I get such a kick out of it.

A “plague”?! That sounds pretty rude to me. And say they did find this elusive “gay gene”. All that it would mean is that someone was more prone towards being homosexual. That would not free them from the requirement that they live as God requires.

Hmmm, time travel. If the gene was found how do you KNOW it would only produce a ‘proneness’. It might be difficult to find but have a 100% effect, noting that about 2% of men seem completely gay?

There you go denying reality again.

This bill is a step in the right direction. We need to get another one started to protect children with Down’s syndrome.

You have lost me on the reality-denying bit…but I do agree we need to protect disabled fetuses from being aborted.

Current evidence suggests that a “gay gene” is not 100% the cause of homosexuality. There are many cases of identical twins where one is gay and the other is not. If homosexuality was simply genetic, then there would be only homosexual twins or heterosexual twins.

And then their would be a plague of homosexuals who could not be accussed of wickedness or perversion because their state would be identifiably natural.

And what if they find the genes for adultry, fornication,homocidal genes ect.?:mad: WITH Gods grace we can overcome any sin can we not?

Children of alcoholics sometimes abstain completely knowing they may also be “prone” due to “genetics” to also have a dependency to alcohol. :eek: Just because there is a genetic element to alcoholism doesn’t mean we should consone it or leave them to drink themselves to death. 😉

To further expand: Current evidence is there is no such thing at all as a “gay gene.”

Thank you. That is the point I was trying to make.
