If you feel abortion should stay legal and it should be the choice of the woman then do you believe it should be legal and the parent's choice to repair the X chromosome that has been reported to cause homosexuality in men if that ever becomes an option?

Yes it should be the parents choice. Like its the parents choice to off an unborn baby in minors, so it should be legal to prevent future degenerates from being born.
There is no such thing. It's genetic predisposition, and environmental factors, like a woman's hormone level while the child is in the womb.
But if they find a genetically modifiable way to prevent homosexuality, I support that, just like I support it for tall kids, or short kids, or smart kids, or blue eyes, or whatever the parents want.

Can you please provide the source for your "scientific" statement regarding "gene repair." And since the people who would choose this option because they are bigoted against gays do not believe in either evolution, global warming or science in general, why would they have this "scientific procedure" attempted? Wouldn't they be afraid of what will happen, as I am sure they most likely do believe Frankenstein is actually a documentary.

Well, I wouldn't call them bigots.
What's wrong with wanting your child to be normal. Nothing wrong with abnormalities, blue eyes, for instance are a recessive gene and an abnormality.
But if a parent wants their child to grow up, and be attracted to the opposite sex, who are we to call them bigots? I love my kids, if they grew up and I discovered they were homosexual, I wouldn't love them any less, and I would love them for who they are. But if I could prevent that, so they were like most people, I would. If not only because it passes on my genetic markers, and that of my forefathers better.
There is no gay gene, or one in specific. There are hormonal and genetic factors that play a role in homosexuality.
I really cannot answer this question, because honestly I think it raises a much bigger question about genetic engineering which I am undecided on.
As a society I think we would need to have a fully informed discussion on designer babies once it gets out of the realm of science fiction and I don't think that has happened yet.
