The March for Life Stands Up for Science | National Review

Life begins at conception.

Every year it seems that groundbreaking new documentaries debut on video-streaming services and in American box offices, promoting allegedly fact-based and science-driven narratives. If climate-change-focused documentaries like Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth have lost their novelty and urgency, activists such as Bill Nye are happy to fill the void, lending the thinnest patina of popular credibility to certain narratives by claiming things such as “sexuality is a kaleidoscope.”

But the political left avoids facts like the plague when those facts resolutely prove one of the most fundamental points of our existence: Conception marks the first moment of a new and distinct human life.

It would be horribly inconvenient for the Liberal narrative to admit someone was indeed a unique human being from conception.
To do so, despite the logically incongruous claims of sexual deviancy being hardwired in, would not only have serious repercussions for the abortion industry, but would raise questions of intellectual and behavioural traits being inherent from the moment the unique genetic composition of the individual came together.
 
That, in itself challenges the notion of 'equality" as expressed in the Liberal philosophy--not the equality of rights, dignity, and human worth, but the equality of outcomes expected to be forced upon those who excel triumphantly and fail horribly, alike.

That that artificially imposed equality of outcome squelches innovation and even cultural development is of no great consequence to those who would use that great leveling to gain and retain the power to be the ones who determine who is deemed merely equal.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
