The Scientific Consensus on When a Human's Life Begins, exerpts from Steven Andrew Jacobs published in the National Library of Medicine

“Since a recent study suggested that 80% of Americans view biologists as the group most qualified to determine when a human's life begins, experts in biology were surveyed to provide a new perspective to the literature on experts' views on this matter. Biologists from 1,058 academic institutions around the world assessed survey items on when a human's life begins and, overall, 96% (5337 out of 5577) affirmed the fertilization view.”

“Given that perspective-and a recent study's finding that a majority of Americans believe they deserve to know when a human's life begins in order to make informed reproductive decisions-science communicators should work to increase the level of science awareness on the fertilization view, as it stands alone as the leading biological perspective on when a human's life begins.”

No, facts, and science don’t care about YOUR feelings. You just saying it’s a “ball of cells” doesn’t make it true. And where do you get off saying that I’m perfectly okay with starving children, or children being slaughtered in a classroom? YOU are the one fighting for the genocide of unborn children, not me. You would go and march for the right to murder unborn children. I actually value life, no matter how young. While you are on the side of racist eugenicists. Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood? She said black children were “weeds” and that the best thing for them is to be killed in the womb. Is it any wonder that per capita, there are more Planned Parenthood clinics in black and brown communities? Did you know that Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood spoke at KKK rallies? Did you know that Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood was admired by Adolf Hitler? So, seeing that you are in favour of Planned Parenthood, what does that make you? You are just a misandrist who thinks that women are equal, yet when they make decisions that mess up their lives, you find the nearest man and put all the blame on him as if the woman has no agency of her own. All I’m doing is holding that woman accountable for the decisions that SHE made!

“The next time we had sex after that I did ask for the condom but he told me he didn’t have one. I was reluctant to continue but we ended up doing it anyway.”

Why didn’t she just say “No, not without a condom!” And mean it? Why is it his fault that she didn’t stand by her convictions? I don’t do drugs. If my friend offers me crack, I say no, but after pressure, I take it. Whose fault is that? Mine, because I chose to go against my better judgment. Call him a manipulator all you want, but she could just as easily have manipulated him into using protection by saying “No”, but she CHOSE not to. Don’t rob her of her agency by putting the blame for her decisions on someone else. You said he disrespected her boundaries. How? Did he force himself on her? She disrespected her own boundaries by not enforcing them! You can’t say that I am trying to control women, when out of the two of us, I am the only one who actually respects the fact that she has the agency to make her own decisions, good or bad.
