The Abortion Patch

Albert Mohler's post today really demonstrates the incoherency and irrationality of the Leftist mindset. He writes about the issue of homosexuality and the possibility of knowing about the problem ahead of time and possibly curing it.

He asks, "This question stands at the intersection of so many competing interests. Feminists and political liberals have argued for decades now that a woman should have an unrestricted right to an abortion, for any cause or for no stated cause at all. How can they now complain if women decide to abort fetuses identified as homosexual? This question involves both abortion and gay rights -- the perfect moral storm of our times."

Here Feminists are caught in yet another quandary. If they argue that abortion should be a private issue between a woman and her doctor, she could be murdering a homosexual baby just because it is going to be gay.

Just prior Mohler says, "But this is not about homosexuality now; it is about their baby boy. The woman is then told that a hormone patch on her abdomen will "reverse the sexual orientation inscribed in his chromosomes." The Sunday Times [London] predicts that such a patch should be available for use on humans within the decade. Will she use it?"

Are homosexual groups going to get excited about this? Perhaps we could have "fixed" them ahead of time if we had just known or at least have aborted them. So if this "patch" pans out, we could literally do away with one of the major debates within society by just eliminating the problem altogether. This is no moral issue at all, unless of course you think it is wrong to change someone's sexual orientation. Don't some people have sex changes? If it saves them from instant death in the womb, why not just solve the "problem" with the patch?
