Hard to say, but I don't think the majority would switch stances.
Damn good question Herzog.This should get interesting!
I don't have a ready answer for you, but it's a helluva issue. Deserves more than a few lines here. I don't think that we'd see a change in their beliefs, but we'd see a monumental program of re-education with the end of "converting the fallen".
I don't think there would be any big change. I don't think most people base their decision on whether to have an abortion on how the kid might turn out.
Nothing much would change but it sure as hell would screw up the anti gay anti abortion religious nuts out there. Can you imagine the dilemma. "Oh gosh were gonna have a gay baby but were anti abortion so what do we do?" I think what would happen is that the right would become pro choice after someone somewhere found a bit in the bible that they could twist to fit making abortion god friendly. I think a different question would be. Christians if you knew you were going to have a gay baby what would you do? Good question Herzog.
I think that most gay and lesbian people value not having the government regulate or legislate what are primarily personl issues (ie, privacy ). So this would not likely change most gay/lesbian people's views, although it might change some minds. I also agree with mobsie666's point.
Of COURSE! Homosexuals are aggressively trying to turn EVERYONE Gay as it is. This would cause an unnaceptable hiccup in their production line.

The idea that homosexuality is genetic is very unlikely for fairly obvious reasons. Most homosexuals do not reproduce and therefore do not pass on their genes. But the incidence of homosexuality in humans and certain animals had been consistent over many generations.
Keith: simply because individuals with this trait don't reproduce doesn't mean it's not related to genetics. Tay sachs is an inherited disease that kills people in their infancy, obviously they arne't going to reproduce and yet it is entirely based on genetics.
But Tay sachs is extremely rare, with not more than 10 or so cases in the USA each year, suggesting it is rather an unusual and unlikely pairing of two genes ( in this case two HEXA genes, one from each parent ). The large number of non-reproducing Homosexuals suggests it is more a cultural thing than Genetic. A large enough genetic abnormality to explain homosexuality would be nigh on impossible.
It'd seem like a silly reason to get an abortion...
