The Democratic Party’s radical abortion stance requires its politicians to ignore the scientific reality of human life or proudly broadcast their scientific illiteracy to all. Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) has chosen the latter option.
In response to a false legacy media narrative about two women who aborted a 28-week-old unborn child and burned the infant’s body, Lieu claimed that acknowledging that unborn children are alive is a “religious belief.” “You have the right to believe a fetus is a baby,” Lieu tweeted. “You do not have the right to force your religious belief down other people’s throats.”To be clear, it is not a “belief” that a fetus is a baby. It is a scientific fact.
Not to be lost in this, Lieu is arguing that women should be able to get abortions at seven months pregnant. That is what happened in this case, after all. If you were to ask Lieu, an unborn child at seven months is not a baby. At seven months, the child can open and close his or her eyes and sense changes in light and dark. He or she has had a heartbeat for six months. He or she can feel pain. If the baby were born prematurely at this time, he or she would have an 80%-90% chance of survival.
Lieu thinks not only that that baby is not a baby, he thinks it should be fine to kill it and light its dead body on fire. That leaves the question of what magical, arbitrary time Lieu would say that a baby is, in fact, a baby, but his current position is not simply ghoulish. If we take Lieu at his word that he does not believe a baby is a baby, that would make him a science denier.
If Democrats could argue that science proves unborn children aren’t children, they would be doing that. Because the science is very clear they are alive, and because they don’t want to deal with the messy morality of arguing that it should be OK to kill living unborn children, Democrats are left to embrace their role as the party of science deniers.
