If, conceding the liberal argument, homosexuality is a genetic predisposition?

Question

and a test becomes available to let expectant mothers know if their, "fetus," is predisposed to homosexuality, should that mother be allowed to abort the "fetus," on that basis? If she would abort a "homosexual fetus," does that constitute a "hate crime?" Does preventing her from doing so impose on a woman's right to choose?

Rick did i imply I dislike homosexuality?

Rick btw your remarks are very mean and hurtful perhaps I should contact my lawyer?

HAHAHAHA STEVEN..... You are so full of yourself. Where did I say I would abort a child if I knew it would be homosexual? I did not. IDIOTS

Answer 1

I wouldn't consider it a hate crime, but I'm sure some fringe far left people might...which you would of course lump together as being "every" liberal. Wow, that sure would give the pro-choice movement such momentum...those conservatives would be lined up out the clinic's door.

Answer 2

First of all, I'd like to say that you pose a good question and I think the only reason some people take it out of context and assume you're being hateful in some way is because they don't have the intellect to think deep into the question. They shouldn't waste space making a question personal, unless they've knowingly aborted their homosexual baby, which couldn't be possible, because we're not quite there yet in science.

With that said:

Such a question would split pro-choicers and pro-homsexual rights libs. My personal views don't come into play here. Too many 'IFs'. When it comes time that this question is a real issue, which won't surprise me, then I assume that many people will change their minds on many things. Those that are against homosexuality more than abortion might find themselves getting one. One the other hand, those that have stronger feelings toward the plight of the homosexual than the right to choose might find themselves having unwanted homosexual babies.

Answer 3

Genetic engineering is becoming a large concern among the medical research community. They wish to provide ways to correct/prevent genetic diseases but they fear exactly what you have outlined. Not just in regard to homosexuality, but to what they see as equally morally questionable reasons to abort a fetus - such as gender, or Down's syndrome. I won't presume to know your position, but I suspect it's one of approval since you use the phrase "conceding the liberal argument." Sorry if I am incorrect.

Just to play devil's advocate I see a slight problem with your question. If liberals are the only ones who have abortions, and the only ones who believe that homosexuality is innate, then why would a liberal have an abortion over something that doesn't phase her at all? I don't believe it's that cut and dried - many liberals are anti-choice, just as many conservatives are pro-choice, but it's a good point based on your premise.

Your question led me more to thinking about anti-choice women who abhor the idea of abortion, but abhor the idea of homosexuality as well. Would she be tempted to have that abortion anyway because she couldn't deal with God, who presumably she highly believes in, choosing to bless her with a homosexual child? Hmmm...that could present quite the quandry for more than one woman of the Religious Right.

Should it be allowed? I do not think so, and I doubt if it ever will be, mostly because even before it is possible scientists are balking at the idea. Lines will be drawn in the sand by the medical profession over how genetic engineering will be used and there will be laws passed to back up their opinions.

Answer 4

why is it that when scientists find something... it's a "liberal argument"... isn't it a scientific argument... they have done studies... there are reasons for the argument?

anyway... this is a little more interesting than even you explain... for yet another question...

if a conservative found out they were having a homosexual baby, would they abort it, because they think it's an abomination to God... or would they have it, because they don't believe in abortion?

as far as your first question... I think it may be a little "science fiction"... mainly because you probably couldn't tell until the third trimester (not enough brain development)... and all the liberals I know don't even like abortion in the third trimester...

but EVEN if they could... most think abortion is a right, regardless of the reason, and if it's not a person, it can't be a hate crime...

Answer 5

If we continue to concede to the liberal argument, then abortion is a "right" available on demand. Of course one can abort their fetus, and, as we further concede the argument, the fetus is not a human life and therefore its abortion is not anymore a hate crime than killing a gay amoeba. Keeping the woman from doing so would impose on the woman's right to choose.

BUT... What about my right to choose if I want to be homosexual, heterosexual, transsexual, multisexual, multitalented, unilateral, bipartesan, or anything else I choose to be. If my mom aborted me, then I would never get a chance to choose any of these things.

Answer 6

I can not honestly answer this question because i do NOT feel Homosexuality is something you are born with.. I am more on the liberal side for the most part but i totally disagree.. I feel Homosexuality is a life choice not something you are born with.. I will defend your right for that choice but I will never agree that it is something that you are born with.. It's hard for me to ever feel you are born with that, and with a very high percentage of females having a bi expierence nowadays kind of supports my beliefs. I feel it is a life choice period.

So I guess I have only one answer that will support my opinion.. No reason to abort.. But i (personally with no ties to politics) am against abortion to begin with anyways. So maybe I'm not allowed to be a liberal in all other ways?? hmmmmm interesting.. Where"s the club rules that i need to adhere by??

Being a Liberal is a belief but you do not have to support every belief to be a Liberal.. just as consevatives have certain beliefs but you never have to support every belief to be a consevative. This is what makes politics fun.. you get labeled as such so that means you have to support every theory to that belief?? NOT!!!!

Whats even funnier is I am a registered republican but have recently turn away from that as I feel strongly that the republican party has gotten away from the real beliefs that the republican party stands for.

Answer 7

Ok.. first of all if a woman had an abortion because she found out that her baby would grow up to be homosexual - she has mental problems, she is a horrible person, and is no better than a murderer... but she has the right to choose and therefore if she wanted to have an abortion for such a reason she can

Answer 8

So you are saying that Mary Cheney should have been aborted or allowed to live. If she lived than from birth she would be subject of bigotry and possible hate crimes or hateful actions although it is not her fault. She had no choice to be that way, based on your example, and so she suffers.

It sort of reminds me of what the Nazis wanted from German Women. The master race of tall, blond, blue eyed super people better in every way, down right perfect, than everyone else. Anyone who did not fit that ideal was a sub speci and not fit to live or were more fit for being slaves to serve the master race.

Answer 9

This is a great question. However, I think we should allow only the genetically predisposed to homicidal murder to become pregnant. That will take care of 1 and 2.
lol.
I am predisposed to "spending before I get it, got a few past due bills but I won't get specific, single * * addicted to retail,
whew when the argument falls down, who you gonna call now.
south side, south side gonna set this party off right, west side west side gonna set this party off right.

Answer 10

No, preventing her from doing so prevents a heinous infraction of an unborn's fundamental human right. And of course it's a genetic predisposition. Many animals are homosexual too....shall we blame their upbringing?
