Democrats are all wrapped up in that it has to be genetic, not a choice. What difference does it make? Why is that so critically important to them? Either way, it's not a job for government either to discriminate against gays or to validate who they have sex with. As long as it's a consenting adult, so the **** what? Why is this such a critical distinction to the Democrats whether it's genetic or choice? What does it change?
Amy Coney Barrett graduated from law school first in her class. She's 48 and came of age with the LGBTQ rights movement. She should have known better.

If being gay is genetic, it can't be changed. If being gay is a choice, YOU can make a different choice, and society can and will shun you if you don't, because you don't have to be that way and we don't have to accept you. The right is very big on declaring being "gay" a choice. That way they can send you for re-programming and say its for you own good. If being gay is genetic, that would be torture.
ACB refused to answer when asked if she would criminalize gay sex. The questions she refused to answer, were very telling indeed. Would she overturn an election? There is only one answer under the Constitution and that's "No". She said it would depend on the evidence presented.
There is a huge movement on the elite right to save Downs Syndrome babies from abortion, and it is noteable that she has a Downs child because Republican Senators all made a big deal about it. Down's children are very sweet and adoreable, and there used to be a lot more of them. Genetic testing has drastically reduced their numbers and had my last pregnancy been a Downs child, I would have aborted the pregancy.
I have friends with Downs children, and I've seen their needs overwhelm families. These children will never be independent and required special education and care all of their lives. Even in Canada, where there are a lot of government supports, it's very expensive and you have to advocate for your child's needs constantly. As you age, their needs grow, and by the time you're my age, they need a level of care I would not be able to provide at this stage of my life, either physically or financially.
A wealthy lawyer I worked for had handicapped child. He was in a very expensive residential care facility because of violent outbursts. His Dad was 6' 4" and large framed and they couldn't manage him. The parents were approaching 70, and they had a trust fund set up to ensure his care there for life - even after his parents passed. There was more than a million dollars in that trust.
If you're not a wealthy person who can afford to hire caregivers, special classes, and treatment facilities, both the financial and physical needs will overwhelm you. If you have other children, the needs of the Downs child will swamp a family, both emotionally and financially. And every parent has to face the moment when they can't anymore, and send the child to live in a "home" forever. One older mother told me that her child was now basically alone (husband dead, mother ill, no siblings), and would be for the rest of his life. If she had it to do over, she would have terminated the pregancy, not for her sake, but for his.
The anti-abortionists are big on saving the lives of Downs babies, with little thought to the lives they'll have or how their parents will cope, if they're born into poverty.
