Abortion in an Age of Genetic Choice

I found this question to be of great importance, given so many

Gay groups suport abortion!

Calling All Abortion-Supporting Liberals and pro Choice gays!

Got a couple of questions for you. Set-up first.

As you may know, technology has advanced to such a degree that parents may choose to kill — pardon me, “sex-select” — their babies if they have sex-related diseases such as hemophilia.

The latest topic of discussion in Britain is whether sex selection should be allowed for family planning purposes. Not mentioned in the article, but an obvious cause of controversy, is that “undesirable” human beings will be killed.

My questions to liberal gay and non-gay abortion supporters are these: If a significant number of women begin choosing to abort their babies because doctors discovered a “gay gene,” would your stance on the “right to choose” change or shift in any way? Would the number of women killing these “defective” babies make a difference?

Is one potentially gay dead baby one too many? Please disseminate this post far and wide. No doubt it will attract trolls, but I’m dead serious. Pardon the pun. Update: Off-topic comments will be deleted. The questions are posed to pro-choice readers, by the way.
