"When it comes to women’s rights with respect to their reproduction, I think you should leave it to women."
That's what Bill Nye has to say in his latest educational video for Big Think, "Can We Stop Telling Women What to Do With Their Bodies?" In the video, which you can watch above, Nye explains how the idea of "life at conception" simply doesn't make sense -- because many more eggs are fertilized than become humans, due to factors like failure to attach to a woman's uterine wall.
"If you’re going to say when an egg is fertilized it therefore has the same rights as an individual, then whom are you going to sue?" he says. "Whom are you going to imprison? Every woman who’s had a fertilized egg pass through her? Every guy whose sperm has fertilized an egg and then it didn’t become a human? Have all these people failed you?"---Bill Nye (fake science guy)
His logic is flawed. That is why he is an ideologue and not a scientist.
The flaw? He starts out with his opinioned approach and then tries to apply his 'science' to it.
The national debate right now is what PP is doing to fully formed babies.
So Nye has to go to the least common denominator and tell us 'well not every sperm fertilizes an egg and not all eggs that are fertilize attach to the uterine wall.'
Well thanks a lot "Mr. Science" we know that. But what does a natural process have to do with an artificial premeditated act of a woman who wants to terminate the process?
Nye would only answer this question with his original premise. "Women should do whatever they please." Which is not science at all. It amounts to 'legalized' murder.
'When it comes to women’s rights with respect to their reproduction, I think you should leave it to women.'
Of course he knows the issue isn't what a woman does to her body . It's what the butcher abortionist is doing to a baby's body . It's even more grotesque when it's masked in the name of scientific advancement .
'well not every sperm fertilizes an egg and not all eggs that are fertilize attach to the uterine wall.'
Nonsense and a very dangerous premise. Why ? Because if implantation is the determinant to human life (which of course by definition makes abortion murder because every child killed in the womb was implanted) ,it gives phony moral cover to fertilizing eggs invitro for the purpose of harvesting parts and treating them as disposable subjects for scientific research .
Here is what other prominent abortion advocates have said about the subject :
"I think we have deluded ourselves into believing that people don't know that abortion is killing. So any pretense that abortion is not killing is a signal of our ambivalence, a signal that we cannot say yes, it kills a fetus." ( Faye Wattleton ,President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, from 1978 to 1992)
Clinging to a rhetoric about abortion in which there is no life and no death, we entangle our beliefs in a series of self-delusions, fibs and evasions. And we risk becoming precisely what our critics charge us with being: callous, selfish and casually destructive men and women who share a cheapened view of human life...we need to contextualize the fight to defend abortion rights within a moral framework that admits that the death of a fetus is a real death" (Naomi Wolf, feminist author and abortion supporter)
"It is possible to give ‘human being’ a precise meaning. We can use it as equivalent to ‘member of the species Homo sapiens’. Whether a being is a member of a given species is something that can be determined scientifically, by an examination of the nature of the chromosomes in the cells of living organisms. In this sense there is no doubt that from the first moments of its existence an embryo conceived from human sperm and eggs is a human being." (Peter Singer, 'philosopher' and abortion advocate in his book 'Practical Ethics')
"There is simply no doubt that even the early embryo is a human being. All its genetic coding and all its features are indisputably human. As to being, there is no doubt that it exists, is alive, is self-directed, and is not the the same being as the mother–and is therefore a unified whole." (Bernard Nathanson co-founded of NARAL)
