Provocative

I like this story.
Brian Duprey, a Republican State Senator in Maine (traditionally liberal) has introduced legislation that would make it illegal to abort a baby based on its sexual preference (the legislation looks forward to the possibility that in the near future a gene may be found that controls sexual preference).
What Duprey has done here is brilliantly cleaver in my opinion: setting liberal interests against themselves. In opposing this legislation abortion advocates will leave themselves open to attacks of "gay bashing" or "being homophobic."
But if the legislation passes, one has to wonder why its not ok to abort a child based on sexual preference, but ok to abort on, say the sex, potential physical, etc. of a baby? Its a whole new can of worms, so to speak, when it comes to abortion.
