The statements aren't really bad or good though, however, The Buddha did say them well before the big JC did.
I've given my thoughts on Evolution/Creation already, and yes already addressed abortion. As far as homosexuality goes, while I don't condemn the people myself, they are punished in Genesis in the story of Sodom and Gammorah.

As far as Buddha goes, again we're mentioning a god that is considered a pagan god in my religion. Mentioning something he said proves nothing to me.
When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fullfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and be taken as prisoners to all nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
...At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.
Luke 21:20-28
