Sex is a choice, regardless of genetics

Says Louis Guagenti in his recent letter: "Being LGBT is not subjective; it's how the person is wired. They don't get to choose their sexual orientation any more than one gets to choose their eye color." If that's true, then it's also true that heterosexuals are hard wired and since sex has become a recreational activity for so many today, does this hard-wiring force everybody to engage in sex with as many others as possible?

Or is it possible that one must choose to do such things?

So, just as it is with heterosexuals, so it is with others. Whatever it is that either group does, they do it because they choose to do it. That means, regardless of "wiring," they can also choose not to do it, especially if it happens to be a threat to one's physical and/or emotional health.

Regarding abortion when rape is involved, well, that does produce a conundrum, doesn't it?

When the rape victim is a child and gets pregnant, concern for the girl is universal, but even in this case, the pro-death/pro-abort idea that a baby in the womb is not a baby plays out: if it's less than human, then where's the problem? But it IS a baby, a human being and it was through no fault of its own that it even exists, yet we in America decided with Roe-v-Wade that its very life is wholly subject to the whims of the mother carrying it.

There is even a push to allow a baby to die should it survive the abortion procedure. Fancy that: it is no longer a "part of the woman," it is no longer "her body." It is an individual by every definition of the word, yet its very life still depends on the whims of its mother.
