None of this matters because the majority (probably overwhelming majority) of pro-life people also don't believe settled science like evolution or that the earth is more than 6000 years old. If we can't reach consensus on those things, how is telling someone that believes a zygote has a human soul that its okay because it isn't conscious?
Keep in mind that the protections provided by Roe and PP v. Casey only extended to 24 weeks. If scientists gave an answer to the question anywhere past 24 weeks then I don't see how it would move the debate even the tiniest smidge.

- DangitBobby 4y agoAbsolutely. No scientist was going to be able to convince these people that their pastor is wrong about how precious a fetus is.
- areoform 4y agoIt's not the ardent pro-life people that I'm concerned about reaching, but most Americans who aren't that radical. The lack of scientists speaking out about abortion and bringing reason to the public discussion has led to a vacuum where the only voice they hear are either religious nuts or social activists trying to be heard. Social activists usually lack the scientific training and background to break it down and explain the problem.
