In an article in Reason magazine physicist Winston L Duke said the following. This quote is from just before Roe versus Wade, when pro-choicers were first beginning to advocate legalizing abortion:
“It should be recognized that not all men are human… It would seem to be more inhumane to kill an adult chimpanzee than a newborn baby, since the chimpanzee has greater mental awareness.”
Winston L Duke, “The New Biology,” Reason, August 1972 Quoted in Paul B Fowler Abortion: Toward an Evangelical Consensus (Portland, Oregon: Multnomah Press, 1987)36
