What do you want them to say?
Ok. I'll try my best to help you out here. (But first -- don't try to tell me how to reply properly to someone's post -- it's insulting).
An abortionist collects the fetuses and stores them in his house. Does the possibility exist that abortionists have an ulterior motive for performing abortions? Does that help?
Maybe they can call for federal background checks on the doctors who do abortions. Obviously this doctor was mentally ill and should not have been practicing.
Maybe they can call into question abortions for minors.
Maybe they can investigate his political affiliation and if a Republican blame Trump. Why not.
Apology accepted. And I'm sorry I took it the wrong way. We good?

Let me address this first by asking: Are you familiar with the term "springboard" in discussions? There are many instances in this forum where this technic is used. For instance:No not really. That is still irrelevant to the issue of abortion.
Surely you can see that an argument is not being made here (in your revised version), nor in mine. An argument consists of at least one premise and a conclusion. Even if you answer yes to the question you can't draw the conclusion that therefore abortions are wrong. At best all you can conclude is that surgeons might have an ulterior motive for performing abortions other than a concern for the welfare of their patients. But please note I didn't allude to each and every surgeon having one.A surgeon collects the cancer tumors he removed and stores them in his house. Does the possibility exist that surgeons have ulterior motives for performing abortions?

Planned Parenthood admits selling baby body parts, reported in news story out Sept. 4, 2019.
Now in regards to your issue with logical fallacies. You might look at "Inductive reasoning." It might be what you're looking for.
Thank you for your contribution. I look forward to reading many more of them.What argument? There's no mention of his selling anything. No mention of monetary reasons at all.
I saw no motive given. Period.
Er, you might want to reconsider chiding other's "reasoning" abilities.

In the above thread, the OP has more to do with journalistic malpractice than abortion (per se). I didn't wade through every page of that thread to see if you protested against it being in the abortion forum. Did you?

I believe I stated as such.But this doesn't work with the apparent goal of demonizing abortion, as indicated by the placement of this thread, and that specific ommission.

Appreciate your contribution.Glad I can help.
I almost missed this. You deleted the code that references my post, so I got no alert, and Tapatalk doesn't always drop me at my last read post.
I don't respond to all abortion threads, so I might not have seen it to have called it out. Nor am I going to make a special trip over there just to do so. Doesn't mean my point is any less applicable. Isn't there a fallacy about claiming that an argument is invalid just because it wasn't universally applied by the one giving it? One of these days I'm going to take that class so I can keep these things straight. That said, I wasn't even the one that originally called you out on the issue of misdirection in putting this thread in the abortion forum. I did a rewording of the one who did, and we been at this since.
First I want to point out that you have done a word chance here. You used abortionist in your first argument on ulterior motives. I then used cancer surgeons as an example to show how that argument failed to hold up. Now you are using the word surgeon for those doing abortions. While a technically valid application of the word, the shift in use implies that our examples were the same, and I made no argument at all. If this was intentional, it is a poor move. But I can see it possibly being unintentional.
That said, yes by leaving your argument at abortionists might have ulterior motives, that leaves the impression that you are referencing at least the majority of abortionists. Had you use the word "some" or "a few", you then don't broad brush the profession. But this doesn't work with the apparent goal of demonizing abortion, as indicated by the placement of this thread, and that specific ommission.

There are people who think you have to be a little twisted mentally to claim the Earth is round and not flat. Expressing an opinion does nothing towards furthering your argument.Well I think you have to be a little twisted mentally to perform abortions to begin with
How so? I'm not a surgeon (or have any skill in the medical field) but I would think you'd have to have a great deal of mental acuity to perform abortions. If you're speaking of moral deficiency one has to remember that (for the most part) morality is a subjective matter -- meaning your morals are not necessarily superior to that of others.Well I think you have to be a little twisted mentally to perform abortions to begin with
