Very interesting remark..

I've heard of gender selective abortions before....can you imagine if they found a "political affiliation" gene? It really wouldn't surprise if one existed.

Not sure if that is true since there are already cases where women are wanting to abort if the child is female. Where was the outrage, from women, at planed parenthood for that?

Seems gender based abortions are common in China according to some stories but that's purely anecdotal. I've never seen any stats.
I saw where some group used hidden cam to get some Planned Parenthood counselors on video advising a young woman on how to get a gender specific abortion. I don't think it got a lot of exposure. That sort of thing is a real quandry for many women's groups as they are typically staunch supporters of abortion rights. In my opinion, and that's all it is, a gay gene would put them on the horns of a similar dilemma.
