This article portrays "alt-science" as a right-wing phenomenon, but there are certainly left-wing flavors as well, including: - anti-nuclear sentiment (1, 2) - anti-wind sentiment (bad for birds) (1) - blanket anti-GMO (2), overly focused on organic products - homeopathy (2) - overconfidence in some forms of birth control: condoms as actually used are only 85% effective (3) birth control per year per couple - poor understanding, or at least wording, around prenatal development. Developed human fetuses are both human and alive. Scientifically, the abortion question isn't whether a human life is ended, it's clear that one is. The question is a philosophical (not scientific) -- whether the termination of a life is justified and who gets to determine that. I expect that some of these sentiments could be very true. Just like storing up thousands of samples of urine could provide scientific advancement. But the discussion on each issue is not scientific. In some cases, scientific inquiry itself can be seen as dangerous and harmful.
