Evangelical Leader Responds to Attacks on Gay Baby Article
The media storm over an evangelical leader's blog post on babies and homosexuality prompted him to set the record straight on Friday.
Recent media reports have claimed that the Rev. R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, suggested that homosexuality may be genetic in origin and that he would support "treatment" of it.
In response, Mohler stated, "My purpose in writing my previous article was, in the main, to draw attention to a very real threat to human dignity that lurks as a possibility on our horizon ... This is the possibility that, if a biological marker (real or not) is ever claimed to mark homosexuality in prenatal testing, widespread abortion of such babies might well follow," according to his latest blog post. "In that event, hypothetical in the present time, it will be biblical Christians, opposed to all elective abortions, who will stand for the full human dignity of all human beings, born and unborn."

I can assure you that Catholics also will stand against all elective abortions, in defense of the dignity of unborn life.
P.S. Father Mychal Judge, the NY fire chaplain who died on 9/11, was openly gay (though celibate). His whole life was an imitation of Christ and he was seen by many as a living saint. Fr. Mychal famously asked, "Is there so much love in the world that we can afford to discriminate against any kind of love?"
