Science & Tech Quote by Candice S. Miller

"We are learning more about the humanity of the unborn child. Science and truth support the prolife movement"

About this Quote

The phrase "learning more" is the velvet glove here: it frames a morally loaded political claim as the natural byproduct of neutral discovery. Candice S. Miller isn’t arguing from scripture or sentiment first; she’s trying to draft science into a coalition as a credibility machine. In a culture where religious authority carries less automatic sway in public policy, "Science and truth" becomes a substitute pulpit - a way to present pro-life politics not as a contested value system but as the end point of responsible, evidence-based citizenship.

"Humanity of the unborn child" does double work. It sounds like empathy, but it’s also a strategic redefinition: the fetus is linguistically upgraded to "child", and "humanity" is made to feel like a measurable fact rather than a philosophical threshold. The subtext is legal as much as moral. If the unborn are framed as fully legible humans, restrictions on abortion can be recast as civil rights protections, shifting the rhetorical burden onto opponents to explain why a "child" should not be protected.

The line is also a quiet rebuke to ambiguity. By pairing "science" with "truth", Miller implies that the debate is not between competing rights claims (bodily autonomy vs. fetal life) but between reality and denial. Contextually, this fits the late-20th/early-21st century Republican move to secularize pro-life messaging: ultrasound imagery, fetal pain claims, and developmental milestones become campaign-ready artifacts. It’s persuasion by inevitability: history, technology, and "truth" marching in one direction, with policy urged to catch up.
