Shouldn't the legality of abortion not be based on *scientific*
principles rather than religious opinions? What should we consider?
Questions whether a foetus suffers, is conscient, etc, and at what time
in the gestation? Or should we just shut up when people say that as
soon a sperm meets the ovarian cell, you have a conscious human being?
The abortion problem is just as much steeped in science as climate
change, and we have to inform the public about this.
