Being Gay is not dangerous , being a bigot is . Of course one can do something about bigotry. Being Gay is simply natural. Nothing wrong with it and nothing to "rectify" .

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, your answer, what a great post from you. Well said. I also would not, because i see no difference between being Gay and Hetero except for sexual orientation. Being Gay is not dangerous, except for those few, who make Being Gay a dangerous issue. This Designer Baby stuff, well, the baby isn't blond enough, the eyes are not blue enough, think i will just redesign my baby. NONSENSE. A baby is a gift, all babies. For those those would abort, that is your business, but to me what a terrible reason in doing so.

Mom's Genetics Could Produce Gay Sons | LiveScience

Eventually, I'm positive that scientists will discover what causes people to become homosexuals rather than heterosexuals, and I won't be surprised if it will be able to be determined before a baby is born.
My Mom had 5 boys and 2 girls, the gay gene hit 4 of the 5 boys. My real dad had 1 boy and 4 girls and they all appear to be straight as are all of my dads siblings. One of my moms brothers was gay too, so the gay gene may be on her side. If the gay gene is a recessive gene, it would not be unusual for it to be carried by the female and manifest in masculinized females and feminized males. Gene expressions like that are extremely common in humans and the rest of the animal world. The all white domesticated rabbit came about that way and so did all the colors in the budgerigar other than the dominant green.

We know its legal to abort the child but is it right for the woman to use the fact it will be gay a reason to abort ?

What the hell? I would consider it if there was a test for a liberal, but not any other social or medical condition.
