This is a clever ploy. A Maine lawmaker half-heartedly introduces a bill that would ban the abortion of “homosexual” fetuses. While a bit of a silly, unenforceable bill, it does open the questions of whether homosexuality is genetic and it seeks to force the liberals to chose between gay rights and abortion rights. He could have pressed the issue even further by amending it to say that abortions for sexual preference that discriminates against female fetuses. That’d get the feminists in a knot fighting for both abortion rights and against sexual discrimination. There’d even be a chance of theoretically enforcing that one since a gene actually does exist for determining male and female.

The state representative said that he got the idea from Rush Limbaugh which should immediately warn you that it is most likely extreme and a bad idea.
