ABORTION RIGHTS – A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION

Now that Sarah Palin is back in the news with her Facebook statement on ObamaCare, a new round of Palin hatred from the Left seems to be inevitable. Much of this hatred seems to be directly coupled to her obvious love for her newborn son Trig, born with Down syndrome.

Some examples from the past-

At Talking Points Memo, an article sarcastically suggested that Palin resigned because “she wants to spread Down syndrome ... because Down syndrome is just too cute to be reserved for one in 800 births.”

A Paliban Daily article titled “Sarah Palin’s Retarded Platform: More Trigs!” interpreted Palin’s outspokenness on disability rights as a political ploy to win votes. Other articles contained subtle but unmistakable eugenic overtones. More here.

Nicholas Provenzo of the Libertarian Center for the Advancement of Capitalism discussed being “troubled” by Trig’s existence because “it is crucial to reaffirm the morality of aborting a fetus diagnosed with Down syndrome.” More here.

Here’s a question I have for the left.

If, as Provenzo claims, “it is crucial to reaffirm the morality of aborting a fetus diagnosed with Down syndrome,” and if homosexuality is genetically determined as some on the Left believe, and if that “gay gene” is easily detectable in utero by some procedure similar to amniocentesis for detection of Down syndrome, will the Left continue to support abortion on demand?
