Some people think ripping unborn children out of the womb is a barbaric idea.

They would be misrepresenting the issue. Nobody is ripping anything, abortion is strictly regulated. There are gestational limits, usually 12 weeks, or up to 24 weeks under special circumstances, and only more for fetal impairment and such.

The vast majority of the people that hold that opinion have no scientific basis for the opinion they hold, nor do they have a seemingly have a clue about how dangerous pregnancy can be in some situations and that abortion is a lifesaving procedure.

It saves human lives to discount the opinions of the ignorant.

> have no scientific basis for the opinion they hold

There's no scientific basis for opposing theft or assault either. What we think is immoral has little to do with science.
