Science doesn't make an opinion on homosexuality, you are fundamentally misunderstanding the scientific method.

So homosexuality serves no purpose, well if its procreation you speak of yes it cannot hope to do that; however if we use this logic further into real world issues then married hetero couples who cannot or choose not to procreate have no purpose either do they?

I agree women and men are equal, however, even the most devoted catholic is now coming around to understand it except for a few and that few people voice their opinion so loud that it seems like it's the opinion of most.

Well womens rights are usually the worst off in poorer less educated nations, and of course often also in very religious nations like many muslim nations. I'd say womens rights in a secular democratic nation are usually where they should be, equal, but its again the forces of religious groups or sects of them that push womens rights or hold them back. Need only look at mormons or some of the more traditional christian groups in the US and Canada.

And on abortion, since when is it alright to do violence against an infant? I know it's only a fetus at the time, however, it's still living at that point and it's unfair to take the life of what could be a very outstanding person. If you don't want to get pregnant their are a plethora of ways to make sure that it doesn't happen.

Without modern medicine infant disease, death and disfigurement is shockingly high. You may ask why I bring that up, well modern medicine allows a very high % of healthy babies to be born, against the natural grain of human birth before modern medicine. So its unnatural what we are doing, however its a benefit.

So going further with this, abortions which no one likes; even pro lifers... is still important as we should have rights for women to decide, and that is of course under strict laws of when you can have them and under what circumstances.

We all want zero abortions, but for me its about health, safety and the right of the mother to choose up until a time in which an abortion becomes no longer the ending of a pregnancy but a death of a infant.
