90% of scientists agree
Even if that were true these kinds of people are notorious for discounting the vast majority consensus because some lunatic said otherwise. It’s almost like science has so bearing to them unless it validates their preconceived ideas.

Exactly the problem and they all cite a paper written by a pro life conservative who works at the Hamilton foundation which is a conservative ‘think tank’.
The paper itself is abysmally stupid. He emailed about 60 000 people with 5 or so confoundingly, unnecessarily complex question (manipulated) and about 30 000 or so responded and then he interpreted the answers and made the conclusion that like 90% of respondents agree that life begins at conception.
Morons say 90% of scientists agree, which is not even what the paper claims at all which itself is not good.
He could have just asked ‘does human life begin at conception’? Also he complained (author) in a podcast about the paper about how so many faculty at the college he was st during the paper writing urged him to continue with the project and then spins that to baskcally say pro women’s rights advocates are in a conspiracy against life and were all democratic demons in a death cult (more or less)
