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.

      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.

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