This is true. Just like bleeding the sike wasn't so much a moral
issue as it was bad tech. Bad in this case meaning ineffectual,
needing improvement; not bad as in evil or wrong.

Yes, but...

We have already reached a level of contraceptive tech such that, if
that were all there was to it, abortion would be exceedingly rare.
The problem is that people are not using the available tech. In such
a case, it wouldn't matter if BC were 100% effective, as it would only
be as effective as those who use it.

Fine with me.

Some consider it so already, but also oppose the only thing which has
been shown to reduce this thing they claim is so horrible.

Antigay is already becoming unfashionable, which of course makes the
remaining antigays more strident. So eventually you get a tiny
minority which shrieks a lot.

I believe that there will be a lot of that. There will probably be
White Only habitats which insist on remaining an AU or two away from
the Black Only habitats, and many multiple AU's away from "race
mixing" habitats.

In which case some people will want to genegeneer bisexuality in order
to expand possibilities. Gay people, for the most part, don't want to
be cured. But again, it would be nice if they had the option, as long
as it isn't forced on them. X-Men III.
