I have heard the question posed rhetorically before, and now we have an answer. To wit: If homosexuality is indeed genetically determined, and the "gay gene" identified, would you support the rights of parents to abort a pregnancy because the child will be gay?

It seems we have an answer, at least from the pro-life side:

The Pro-life Alliance of Gays and Lesbians (PLAGAL) is applauding a Maine lawmaker for introducing a bill that would prohibit the abortion of unborn homosexual babies.

"We recognize that at this time the gay gene has not been isolated, but with all the advances of genetics, we believe that it may just be a matter of time" before a test for the predisposition of homosexuality will be developed, said Jackie Malone, executive vice president of PLAGAL, in a press release.

PLAGAL hailed Maine State Rep. Brian Duprey, a Republican, for his solid support of pro-life legislation and said it is glad he will continue his fight for the unborn, even in the case of sexual orientation.

Say this about the pro-lifers: they're consistent. It will be interesting to see how the pro-abortion crowd responds.
