I predict that the liberals would want to outlaw abortions done on homosexual embryos if there were a gay gene discovery.
On the other hand, liberals are ok with the fact that most Down syndrome fetuses are aborted nowadays. It all comes back to who is favored under liberalism. Homosexuals are an officially recognized grievance group per liberals, so we are supposed to be shocked that anyone would abort a gay fetus.
On the other hand, Down syndrome people are NOT a recognized grievance group, so liberals are ok with aborting them for that reason.
Yup, I’ve said for a couple decades now that the discovery of a gay gene will be the day “abortion on demand, without apology” ends.
It’s, theoretically and figuratively anyways, a wonderful connundrum for the Left to be placed in. Gay rights is predicated on it being genetic and something born with, not a lifestyle choice. Yet should a gay gene be found it allows both “treatment” of homosexuality and the prevention of it (abortion)
It opens a very, very nasty door for Liberals. Because their support for abortion is based on access to it being unfettered, with any restriction constituting a slippery slope towards eventual banning. But if they make an exception for homosexuality they admit that restrictions are, indeed, ok. They surrender their absolutism and the debate shifts from whether there should be restrictions at all, to where on the continuum they should be located.
Liberalism will implode eventually because of these types of contradictions.
They want abortion on demand
...but not based on a gender decision
...but not based on a “gay gene”
...even though most are black babies it isn’t racist but requiring a voter ID is
They support Islam...and gays...and feminism....and assume the Jewish vote. That just CAN’T work in the long run.
