On Saturday, progressives across the country convened to “March for Science.” The event, which was meant to “hold our political leaders accountable for passing equitable, evidence-based policies that serve all people and all communities,” touted things like climate change and vaccinating. In light of their catchy adage, “Make America Scientific Again,” one wonders where is science when it comes to abortion?

In order to deflect from the ethical controversy surrounding abortion, progressives have long claimed they aren’t sure when life begins or when babies can actually claim personhood. Such obfuscation was useful decades ago when, perhaps, one could claim while morally it made sense that life began at conception, science couldn’t prove it. However, in recent years, scientists, researchers, and medical doctors have become increasingly vocal about when life begins: at conception. Yet the Left chooses to ignore science in favor of pressing abortion as their landmark issue of the century.
