Outlawing The Future

I guess banning nonexistent gay marriages isn’t enough. Now there’s this:

A conservative lawmaker is again drawing criticism for a bill he says is about gay rights but some of his colleagues say is about political posturing. State Rep. Brian Duprey, R-Hampden, wants the Legislature to forbid a woman from ending a pregnancy based on the projected sexual orientation of a fetus. He said the bill looks into the future in case scientists find what he described as a “homosexual gene.”

Maine must be a well-run ship if these pressing matters are the type of issues its lawmakers have the luxury of grappling with.
