interesting dilemma for pro-choice crowd

Almost unbelievable....only a Democrat could come up with this.

Well, if we allow homosexuals complete freedom, the number of such children will decrease rather rapidly, won't they?

The only reason that this gene has survived for so long is that cultural pressure forced everyone to marry and have children.

Duprey is a Republican.

[ContraryMary]

Let's not forget that this "gay gene" does not exist.

[cripplecreek]

Interesting indeed. I'm pro life even if they are trying to use a fantasy genetic marker to promote a homosexual lifestyle.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Do I get this right? It is OK to kill off babies (in utero)as long as they are not potentially gay, but if they are potentially gay, then an abortion is illegal?

This pushes "equal rights" to "extra rights" fro the chosen classes.

[frogjerk]

I believe Rep. Brian Duprey (R-Hampden) has actually used his powers wisely here. He is creating a quandry for the liberals.

[yellowdoghunter]

I stand corrected and ashamed that he is associated with my party.....must be of a different breed.

[ladylib]

He's a Republican.

I posited this dilemma in Joe 6-Pack's Questions for Liberals sometime before 2001 (see question #1). I reposted it in 9/01 (link) as I couldn't find my original post, which I believe was from '99.....

How dare they challenge a woman's right to control her own body!

LOL indeed!

The sponsor of the bill is a pro-life conservative, and he's been submitting legislation that will get attention and cause people to reexamine their liberal views.

That may be your view, but not everyone agrees.

I firmly expect that if avowed homesexuals give up having children, in a short time there will be very few homosexuals left.

See post #9....got distracted while reading story.....

well i think the senator is pointing out the ridiculousness of abortion. It's not a hate crime because the unborn fetus is a umm a fetus not a person. If it were a person then it would be murder right? I think its a good idea for him to bring it up now. Think a little before accusations and you disown the guy because he said gay, legislation, and law in the same paragraph.


But the idea behind this kills me. They are proposing a bill that IF they discover there is a gay gene then this bill will happen. Can i create a patent for a anitgravitational ray gun IF one ever gets created? It seems pretty dumb to me.

[beyond the sea]

he said, “I want to ensure that a woman could not abort an unborn child simply because that child is determined to be carrying this gene.”

Let's get series here, how would anyone be able to determine the actual reason that the woman/couple would choose to abort?

Hmmm?
