Abortion-Sympathetic "Professor" At Odds With Science

He came with his camera, looking forward to portray pro-lifers as a bunch of science-denying fundamentalists. He sure didn't expect one of the vigil keepers, David McDonald, to ask him a simple science question; a question which this "progressive", "environmentally conscious" "professor of science" simply couldn't answer:
Then I asked the scientist “You are a man who has strong opinions about the value of science, do you mind me asking ‘when does life begin?’”

He looked at me and said, “I don’t know.”

I said “really?”

He replied “do you know?”

I said “yes, and there is not one biologist on the planet who will disagree, it’s fertilization. Could it be the reason you don’t want to answer is because you, like Obama, don’t want to face the moral implications of that answer?”

He said, “I don’t want to get into this now and waste 10 minutes talking about it”

I said, “But you are willing to spend hours working on a video that portrays prolifers as a bunch of science denying fundamentalists, and you can’t even answer a simple science question found in any grade 7 biology book? Who is the one denying science?”

With that they sheepishly packed up their camera gear and walked away.
No wonder pro-aborts are so opposed to "reopening" the abortion debate. They know there's no way they could ever win. They may repeat their mantras all they want, claiming that life doesn't start until birth or that a mother and her baby are "one body". But it doesn't take a university professor to realize that none of the pro-aborts' claims has any scientific basis.
