Cage Match: Abortion v Gay Marriage

The rightwing birdcage liner World Net Daily had a piece up today who's headline caught my eye:

Bill would ban abortions of 'gay' fetuses

While the bill in question is likely never going to become law...it does beg the question, Are rightwingers finally understanding sexual orientation is not a 'choice'?

Not likely. If the story from WND is even factual (and that's a stretch), then denying same sex couples the same rights given to heterosexual couples will be a tougher argument to make for those who back such an abortion law.

The "being gay is a choice and therefore we get to abridge the rights of gays" argument gets very anemic, very quickly.
