Regarding abortion – Don’t push your own morality onto others.

If there’s anything we as a society can agree on, it’s that science can give us an objective, unbiased perspective on different matters in our lives. It cannot, however, tell us what we should or shouldn’t do with its findings. That is up to us.

So regarding abortion, what does science say? Is the fetus a “clump of cells”? Yes actually! It is as much a “clump of cells” as any other living mammal, including you and me. But do we dare to use such reductionist language when referring to each other?

So apart from being a “clump of cells” what can science tell us about a fetus? At conception, a fetus in the womb of a human woman has its own unique human DNA. And from conception the fetus begins to grow rapaidly to form to its own particular human genetic code.

Scientifically speaking, the fetus is quite literally a living human being. So why is there any argument over whether our laws should recognize such human life as a “person” deserving of legal rights?

It’s quite simple really. The side who claims to be more scientifically minded and decries anyone pushing their own morality onto others are the guilty ones. There is no scientific basis for their belief that the unborn in human women’s wombs are not human lives. There is only a moral basis, or rather, an immoral one.

Why should that immorality be thrust on the rest of us? Why should our laws be shaped to fit such personal moral codes? If science can give us so many answers, why are we ignoring the one it is clearly giving us here?

The narrative is the exact opposite of the truth. The ones who are for abortion are the anti-science crowd. The ones who are for abortion are the ones pushing their own morality onto everyone else.

We need to call them out! We need to stand up for the rights of unborn human lives!
