It appears the Supreme Court was right and Huckabee was wrong.

So Planned Parenthood would have even more reasons for abortions?

The distinctive epigenomic marks observed by Ngun and his colleagues could result from some other biological or lifestyle factor common to homosexual men but unrelated to their sexuality, said University of Utah geneticist Christopher Gregg. They could correlate with homosexuality but have nothing to do with it.

"Epigenetic marks are the consequence of complex interactions between the genetics, development and environment of an individual," said University of Cambridge geneticist Eric Miska. "Simple correlations — if significant — of epigenetic marks of an individual with anything from favorite football player to disease risk does not imply a causal relationship or understanding."

Interesting. Hadn't heard of that before.
