The Four Fallacies of Abortion Discourse




1. That abortion does not end a human life

2. That abortion is not immoral

3. That abortion law is not just legal fictions

4. That abortion culture is not evil




A Note

The Avenging Angel represented here is

Pro-Life and Pro-Choice and Anti-Abortion

That is to say:

1. he recognizes every human being's natural right to life;
2. he recognizes every moral agent's freedom to make moral choices;
3. he deplores the widespread promotion of abortion to underwrite an irresponsible sexual culture.

Also...

The four fallacies listed above are all presented as negations;
therefore, if you wish to understand the truths contradicted by these fallacies,
then in each case simply remove the negation and read the positive assertion that remains.

Think.

You needed to quote the entire OP at #2 for that bon mot?
Do the right thing and delete or reduce the quote. Please.
 
All I can say is you're entitled to your opinions on abortion, and if you're so certain of the existence of a God let him/her judge those who have an abortion.

Why should any American who does not believe as you do follow (your interpretation of) His Word?
 

Just remove the word "That" and all is well.

It's amusing and beyond to declare something a fallacy when it's based on the "Word" of a mythical being.

While you pretend to only wish to "debate" His Word, you really want it imposed on women in America.

How rational is it to believe that a personal (but yes, shared by others) fantasy be imposed on other free people? A fantasy that would do direct harm to those free people (well, the women anyway).
 

Typical , they are your fallacies not those of pro choice. Once again you demonstrate that because you lack an intelligent argument to support your side the best you can do is make up pretend arguments about the other side.

Much obliged for your two razor-sharp posts, but BS is best relegated to B&S.

#1, Dont lie. Pro-choicers clearly understand that abortion ends human life.

#2 An individual may believe abortion is immoral. The pro-choice side does not prevent someone from their personal morality. Abortion may be immoral to YOU and others. You are entitled to your point of view. Pro-choicers will not prevent you from having your view.

#3 What the hell is a legal fiction? Roe v Wade has settled quite a bit .Are you saying that the SCOTUS treats the Constitution as a fictional story?

#4 Lots of things are evil. You are entitled to your opinion. Who is stopping you from your personal belief that abortion is evil.

So it seems that you have failed again.​
 
Wrong section?

Exactly. If this whole thread is predicated upon the theology of abortion, doesn't it belong in the Theology section of DP? This is the Political Forums - Abortion segment. & so I expected a discussion of the politics of abortion.
 
Oy! This is too funny, or sad. The "angel" is "Angel" is me. Read better.

Look in the thread called Abortion 101; the argument you missed is there.

No, i missed nothing, these are your arguments not pro choice. It is you who make claims and then try to pretend that they are pro choice claims.

A Christian angel sharing God's Intent...yes or no?
 
You post four misunderstandings and my argument fails? That's unbeatable logic!

Wait a minute! Are you saying "Pro-Choice" is a registered trademark or some such? That no one may have his own Pro-Choice argument anymore? You missed the boat, it seems.

You are not a Christian?

From whence comes your claim of 'evil'? (And your signature and just about every post you've made in the Beliefs/Religion sub-forum).

Are you being deliberately ridiculous? You make up pretend arguments because you have none of your own.

If someone claiming to be pro choice did show up and make such lame arguments then other pro choice would be very quick to point out the stupidity of that. We do not need to rely on such poor reasoning. You however have no choice but to make up such poorly reasoned arguments because you lack even one good reason to support your side.

Start with number one.

Apparently YOU falsely believe that prochoicers believe that abortion does not end human life.

FInd me someone on the prochoice side that believes the fetus is not living.

Start there.
