I'll take a wild stab, and guess that talk of «
declaring war on science» is some form of NewSpeak or Climatese for «changing the way taxpayers» money should be spent (or wasted, if you are of a more cynical frame of mind)».
A socio - biologist can tell a young woman
on the best scientific authority that nature designed her, body and mind, to conceive, bear and care for children, but it he can not tell her in the name of
science that in so doing she will fulfill her human possibilities, and he can not answer her when she
declares war on such natural necessities.
