Pretty much all 'scientific fact' is a 'consensus opinion'.

When all of the medical textbooks and the top embryologists from around the world unanimously agree... and assert that it isn't even open to question, it's absurd for someone like Tigermatt to assert the opposite with ZERO evidence to back up his assertion.
The reason that I bring up the scientific aspect, is because it is a critical piece of the syllogism:
A. Deliberately killing an innocent human being is immoral
B. Abortion is the deliberate killing of an innocent human being.
therefore
C. Abortion is immoral.
The religious component of that syllogism is "A".
The factual scientific component is "B".
If the two premises "A" and "B" are true, then the conclusion logically follows.
Most people do not openly dispute that deliberately killing an innocent human being is immoral, so they dishonestly try and assert that the child who is executed in an abortion is not really a human being. But that is just a scientific fact, or as Dr. Jerome Lejeune put it:
“Father of Modern Genetics” Dr. Jerome Lejeune told the lawmakers: “To accept the fact that after fertilization has taken place a new human has come into being is no longer a matter of taste or opinion … it is plain experimental evidence.”
We ought to at least attempt to base our opinions upon the known facts, and the fact is that the goal of every abortion is to deliberately kill the being in his/her mother's womb... and that being has a human mother and a human father... making that being a human being.
The religious opinion is in reality whether or not it is immoral to deliberately kill innocent human beings and whether society has a right or a duty to prevent one human being from deliberately killing other innocent human beings.
Obviously, for an atheist, a human being is nothing more than a complex, random collection of atoms, so it may well be legitimate from that flawed understanding of reality to believe that killing innocent human beings... rearranging those random collections of molecules... is not "immoral".
But even atheists are loathe to admit to such a crass lack of morality, so they opt instead to try and deny scientific reality. God's Law is written in their hearts, no matter how hard they try to deny it, or even to hide it from themselves.
