Abortion is a delicate issue. People who refer to themselves as “pro-life” often argue that abortion should
not be legalized for one simple reason: women can choose not to get pregnant. I don’t think this is a valid
argument at all. Let me explain why I feel this way.

There’s a widespread belief in our society that children brought up by gay parents are likely to adopt
their parents’ “gay lifestyle.” Some people claim that these kids could become gay themselves because of
their parents’ influence. I believe this couldn’t be further from the truth. There’s no scientific evidence
suggesting that sexual orientation can be taught or learned. The child’s sexuality is unlikely to be
determined by his or her parents.
