      Wonderful to see "known biology" and "ensoulment" used in the same tweet.https://twitter.com/JoshHochschild/status/1521855503105769472 …

      Replying to @earlymodjustice
      Isn’t Alito applying known biology, not imposing his own view? We now know that a human being exists (is “ensouled”) upon conception. Our biology replaces the ancient idea of “quickening” (thought to be ensoulment), but the principle that we don’t take human life remains.

      The known biology of ensoulment tells us abortion is wrong. Why don't you respect the science!

          Why are we still using a 2000 year old book of myths in 2022?

          I'd note that saying "the principle that we don't take human life" needs some examining. Alito supports the death penalty and doesn't seem squeamish about ending life. One might say, that executed criminals aren't "innocent" though. . .except we have learned that's not true.

          Common misconception. Ensoulment occurs at conception, obviously, but then there's a disensoulment at implantation. No one agrees when re-ensoulment occurs, but lab tests indicate it's between 5 and 24 hours after birth.

          there's SO much wrong with that guy's argument but it'd be utterly useless to argue with him about it.
