View original postSo natural law is a system of beliefs that by observing nature, you can derive universal truths from nature and then apply those universal truths to human behavior and what is good and what is bad. Natural law while being something that in reality has no required connection to Christianity does share a deep historical connection to Christianity for the Catholic Church has and still does use natural law to help shape theological pronunciations.

View original postThe Bruce effect, or pregnancy block,[1][2] refers to the tendency for female rodents to terminate their pregnancies following exposure to the scent of an unfamiliar male.[3] The Bruce Effect was first noted in 1959 by Hilda M. Bruce.[4] The effect has primarily been studied in laboratory mice (Mus musculus),[1] but is also observed in deer-mice,[5] meadow voles,[6] and collared lemmings.[7] In mice, pregnancy can only be terminated prior to embryo implantation, but other species will interrupt even a late-term pregnancy.[
The Bruce Effect has also been observed in geladas[9] and it has also been proposed, but not confirmed, in other non-rodent species such as the lion.[10]

People who oppose abortion tend to do so because they consider it murder, not "unnatural."
