There are formal and informal logical fallacies. I can’t believe I’m debating this. I also have a 9:30 conference call so will have to come back in a couple hours.

False dilemma is another.

Either you are against abortion or you are for murder.

How..convenient.

And not a single example of a logical fallacy posted so far.

I don't fail to understand. I dispute the claims of "morality." That is why my first response was about religion, and evidence of conception being the beginning of a person. I understand what people think. But, I say it's wrong.

Convenient? I assume you never took freshman level ethics? Or are you educated through google?

And you attempting to back me into the corner of morality fits the bill. Had I went further you’d have undoubtedly went into the continuum fallacy too.

It’s common in abortion threads.

I don’t understand what this has to do with believing in the intrinsic value of human life. Just because you’re not a citizen doesn’t mean you’re not human.

How is this a logical fallacy?

The hope of making it to SCOTUS is likely one of the reasons that there are not exceptions for rape and incest.



So in the meantime, teenagers raped by their fathers are shite out of luck!

Way to prove a point Alabama!

I think there should be such an exception, but realistically what percentage of abortions are due to rape or incest?

Dude I’m not explaining individual logical fallacies to you. I’ve listed the 2 that typically fall in these conversations and you unknowingly attempted to back me into. I encourage you to google those 2 (or 3, including the informal fallacy) and read for yourself.

I’ll be back in a bit

Formal and informal fallacies exist. This isn’t math, it’s ethics. Christ.

Ok so now it's I'm "unknowingly attempting" to back you in to a logical fallacy?

Seriously, do you read what you type?

I mean it should be pretty simple if I've made all these logical fallacies to point out my specific words and then say which logical fallacy I made with those words.

1 to 2% according to the people in this thread.

If there is just 1 pregnancy due to rape, the exception should be in there. Forcing a woman to carry that is horrific.

I am all about prohibiting late term abortions where the fetus could survive outside the womb. But if a woman is raped and pregnant from the rape and it is relatively early in the pregnancy, then they absolutely should be allowed to terminate it.

And the vast majority of people that are against abortion would agree with you in this case.

Which shows the Alabama bill was crafted specifically to be challenged in court in the hopes of a Roe v. Wade overturn.

Great.

So they're forcing rape victims in Alabama to carry the rapist child to term just to accomplish another agenda.

Also, let's say this goes to the Supreme Court and the court sides with Alabama. Are you saying they'll then retroactively repeal the rape and incest portions?

No clue. It's the Alabama government after all.

However, the intent seems to be to overturn Roe v. Wade in such a way that abortion law is left to the states (not that there aren't people pushing for a nation-wide ban, but the politicians know that will never fly).

What's crazy is that some people would support the death penalty for the rapist but also want to forbid the abortion in cases of rape.



"Some" people don't get bills passed. That's why there is an exception in the bill for rape.
