I heard a Senator from Maine is putting up a antiabortion for gay fetus..
bill..
he said that he doesn't believe that there IS a gay gene but just in case it is proven he wants to ban abortion for gay fetuses...
his bill is AGAINST gay "special rights" (marriage, etc) he doesn't believe that gays should have any special rights EXCEPT not being aborted in the womb JUST IN CASE there is a gene that is found....
(i heard this on air America)
and the host (Rachel i believe ) said "so you are against special rights for the born homosexual but not for the fetus" and then he said that he is against ALL abortion but "want to make people think about this issue... are they for homosexuals or abortion rights"
so he is trying to make it a for or against issue...
isn't that the craziest thing????
whats next:wtf: :eyes:

1. How would he propose to determine
if the fetus were gay? There is no known marker for homosexuality, just as there is no known marker for crooked teeth.


What a moran.

2. well if there is a gene for homosexuality
then all bits are off for not allowing them to marry. the reason they say they can be anti homo is because people chose this, not are this. if they are this they cannot be discriminated against

5. If a Gene Marker Is Found That Causes Senators To Be Morons
Can this guy be removed from office?

6. His agenda will promote abortion prohibition. Here's how:
-start by passing this law

(by the way he heard about the abortion gene on Rush by his own admission)

- then he says "See the gays have special rights on the books!"
- then he says "why murder all other fetuses when the gay fetus has special protection?"
- then he submits the protection of ann unborn legislation.

7. How can a fetus be gay?
Since it is impossible for it to be either be sexually mature or sexually active. Of course why would a gay fetus want an abortion?

8. Ban abortions on gay foetuses..
...so people can tie them to a fence post and beat them until their brain is exposed to daylight.

Fun wow! Talk about hypocresy!

When will people realize that protecting one group is *NOT* special rights. Eventually we all fall into small categories and if you protect one, you protect them all.
