The theme for today's March for Life in Washington DC is “Unique from Day One: Pro-Life is Pro-Science”
“Science is behind the Pro-Life Movement.” -Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life
“Science is behind the pro-life movement. We see that medical and technological advancements always affirm the pro-life movement, for example, DNA is present at fertilization and no fingerprint on earth, past, present, or future, is the same. We know, too, a baby’s heart beats at just six weeks and we can distinctly observe it ourselves with ultrasound technology,” said Jeanne Mancini. “As science progresses, we see clearly that every life is unique from day one in the womb.”
“Life in its most vulnerable form, should be protected,” continued Mancini.
For discussion:
I know this is going to wander all over, but this is the Science forum. Not ethics, not politics.
What is the scientific evidence or reasoning supporting that final 'should be' statement?
