If you knew that the baby you were about to save from abortion was going to grow up to be gay and proud, would you still attempt to save his life? Just so you know I am pro choice, but very interested in any responses I get that seriously answer the question.
I asked the question earlier in a different area, and alot of people assumed that i was saying that I am anti gay, so asking again and clarifying that i am not anti gay, seeing as I am gay.

Why not? The point of being pro-life is that you are defending a person's right to have a chance at life and a chance to make his own mistakes.
Only God has a right to "play god" with other people's lives -- which means only God has the right to decide who deserves to live and who does not. Only God made life, so only God has the right to take it back. Besides, we cannot see all possible outcomes, or what influence, directly or indirectly, a person's life may have. If God thought that this person's existence would somehow unravel the fabric of reality and end existence as we know it, then God could take that person out without my help.

Here is my feeling on the topic. First, I'm a guy so the fact that I'm against abortion is kind of mute seeing that it can never directly happen to me and the only way I could be affected is through a direct connection to a woman in that condition.
Second, while I am religious, I have struggled with this question and have tried to answer it for myself without regard to my religious affiliations and what I have come up with is this non-religious reasoning for being against abortion: Basically, it's a get out of jail free card for far too many people who decide to take the act of sex too lightly. I mean where is the personal responsibility for one's actions. Just because the irresponsible moment may only be a few minutes of pleasure VS 20 to 30 year of taking care of a child, I would think that, that would just make that decision something to make that much more carefully rather than at the first horny whim. It also stricks to close to the opposite end of the spectum where we may not want to take care of our aging parents when they get too sick so rather than helping them through the end of their life we might want to take an easy way out and choose to painlessly help them end threir life. But who are we really helping them or us.
Next being gay is a life style choice. You may be predispositioned one way or another by genetics but nothing is in stone and much may depend on your socialization and upbringing.
That all being said getting directly to your question. I believe most people of faith would save the child. Life above all other things is sacared. A persons life style choices in the end are not my problem. I may disagree with their lifestyle choice but that does not make me hate the person in anyway. It's kind of like saying I dislike the eating choices that a fat person makes so I hate all fat people. NO, I might try to discuss with that person how they might be able to improve their life if they are open to the discussion but if not that's ok too and I hold absolutely no hatered in my heart for anyone based on a lifestyle choice.

Everyone, including babies, has the right to make their own decisions. The child should be given that opportunity.
Homosexuality has been scientifically linked to overpopulation. This was done by putting a lot of rats into a small living space, where they soon began practicing homosexual behavior.
So if the child grows up with all of the moral fortitude of a rat, he might well become 'gay and proud'. But I don't see either description as correct. Most homosexuals I have met were not all that happy, and I can't imagine being proud to be equivalent to a rat.

I would let the baby live, and leave his future up to God. Who are we to decide who should live or die. I am a dedicated Christian man, I am against homosexuallity behavior and abortion. It is a choice, like another guy said, nothing is written in stone, we have choices to make. Everyone has a right to live, especially unborn babies, it`s murder any way you want to look at it. But I do not hate gay people at all, everyone has their sins to deal with including us Christians, we have asked for forgiveness and accepted Christ. We have also turned away from our sins, so we are forgiven by God, that`s what seperates us from others. At the end of our lives we will all have to answer to God for our own behaviors and choices, it`s that simple. Like the Bible says," every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that that Jesus Christ is Lord of Lords, and King of Kings." God Bless.

properly, you say that being gay is determined earlier beginning, and not in any respect through way of existence. So your question would not make sense. If surroundings has some thing to do with orientation then how are you going to assert the newborn will strengthen up gay? And opposite for your glaring critiques, maximum Christians aren't any further antagonistic to gay human beings, in simple terms the approach of life. a guy doing yet another guy in the butt is an affront to nature, therefore i visit't help it. i understand gay human beings and that i paintings with gay human beings. they're nevertheless human beings and that i manage them with the recognize i'd manage the different individual. It would not recommend I truly ought to help their way of existence and help extra rights for the gay way of existence. i do not help rights for newborn molesters, animal Fokkers, and those who favor numerous different halves both.

I would not hesitate for a moment to save his/her life. Unless the lifestyle they chose to live harmed other people, the child is free to be themselves.
"Being gay" is no reason to let someone die.
Unfortunately there are many who disagree with me.
