    No offense, but that doesn't really match-up.

    Maybe if you would have said ...'self-hating', or something along those lines....

    Is that one of those magic "stupid" pills? ;)

    Any fetus that's a democrat is suicidal.

    nope. but it countered the effects of the delusion i was under which made me think in the beginning reagan was a stand up guy.

    and you're right, babies that self abort are suicidal.

    I've often wondered if hot women would still seem hot if there were no ugly women around to compare them to. . .
    It doesn't matter if you're male, female, or confused; black, white, brown, red, green, yellow; gay, lesbian; redneck cop, stoned; ugly; military style, doggy style; fat, rich or poor; vegetarian or cannibal; bum, hippie, virgin; famous or drunk-you're either an asshole or you're not!

    Perhaps if this gay gene is found to be indentifiable, then the Down syndrome angle will get more light and will finally get more attention.

    I know that personally, I wouldn't have a problem w/ my child being gay. At the same time, is it really important enough to need to know ahead of time? I think that's the main absurdity of the original article.

    From memory Down's syndrome is caused by an abnormal number of chromosomes, rather than a mulfunctioning gene.

    I didn't say it was. Both malfunctioning genes and one extra chromosome does not equal reasons for legit abortions, IMO.

    What would you think if someone found out their fetus was gay so they aborted it? Would that be okay?

    Somewhat off topic, but a few months ago we were having our local elections, so there were a lot of political signs everywhere. I saw two signs driving to work one day, one that said, 'Stop Abortion' and one that said 'Stop Gay Marriage' right below it. My brain interpreted it as one sign that said 'Stop Gay Abortion'. It confused me so much that I damn near ran off the road.

    I'm not sure if you're directing this to me or not, but I'm going to answer anyway. No! Really, this is all very absurd.

    For some reason, your post reminded me of a saying, can't remember who said it but here it is:

    "The average girl would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think." ;)

    I wasn't directing it towards anyone in general, it was just the first question that came to my head when I read the original article.

    If abortions are all about choice and the woman has sole rights to her body to make whatever choice she wants, she should be able to abort a fetus because it's going to be gay (if she doesn't want a gay child). The bottom line is, it's her body, it's her choice, she can abort the fetus for WHATEVER reason she wants, including if it's going to turn out to be gay.

    that's kinda what occurred to me.
