Should Gays Be Pro-Life?

Impressed by its technological know-how, our society seems to be adopting more and more biotechnologies, raising questions about the ethics of cloning, genetics, etc. Parents are increasingly told that they can manage their children’s genetic codes to secure the most desirable characteristics. If they can’t do that, they always have the absolute freedom to abort the child/fetus/embryo/piece-of-flesh-that’s-equivalent-to-having-a-wart-removed.

Yet, now there’s a Maine state legislator who’s advancing a law to make it a crime to abort a child/fetus/embryo/piece-of-flesh-that’s-equivalent-to-having-a-wart-removed if it’s known to carry the gay gene. In other words, he realizes that abortion on demand is not exactly in the interest of gays because, he fears, they could be targeted just as fetuses without blue eyes and blond hair and females are targeted.

Hey, I have an idea. Why not protect fetuses with the gay gene as well as those of both genders and all colors of eyes? (hat tip: Proud to be Canadian).
