A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

J.D. Vance, the junior U.S. senator from Ohio, zeroed in on this in a social media post on Wednesday: “We've spent so much time winning a legal argument on abortion that we've fallen behind on the moral argument,” he wrote.

Vance is right.

"scientifically wrong" is just a fundamentally bullshit claim. Questions of value, by their nature, are not resolvable by science.

It seems you missed the first half of that sentence, which was not referring to a question of value:

And a more secular moral case against abortion, that it’s harmful to women physically and psychologically

Whether abortions bans cause harm is well-within the scientific realm. You might disagree with what "harm" means, but that's not what you're arguing. And even if you were, I'm not sure how you'd argue that closing abortion clinics, which often offer other services than just abortions, is not harmful.

But feel free to make the argument, I suppose.
