It matters because Rubio is attempting to co-op scientific language "settled science" and apply it to personhood, which as we all know, is a position of philosophy more than science. That you take no issue with the intellectual dishonesty here is disappointing but I know you find yourself in bed with such types so perhaps you make broader allowances than I would.
Evolution is settled science, definitions of personhood have next to nothing to do with biology. The only people on Rubio's "side" are the anti-choice zealots who still want to make abortion illegal.

I think you think I care about this a lot more than I do.
I know you more or less don't because issues like women's rights are non-Jeff problems, but even so, Rubio's muddled thinking on climate change should be worrisome to anyone with standards.
Nah, it's not projecting - you support the party of anti-woman legislation, it's one of those fact things.
I guess in regards to Rubio, it's more a question of you're a smart person so how can you possibly support someone who is either willfully ignorant or a liar on these subjects?

You call it anti-woman, but they'd disagree. As well as many women.

Well, it would depend on what his opponent believed. Chances are they're both ignorant about certain things, so it's either abstain or go with who is the best option.

It isn't perfect, no, but I'm also unlikely to hinge my vote for Rubio if the opportunity comes up on climate change.
