And that moronic argument is a textbook example of a logical fallacy known as an appeal to common practice or an appeal to populatity. If a logical fallacy is the best you can do, why bother? |
Would you care to explain how the 400 million women using birth control pills, an IUD, morning after pills, implants, are not, in your view of the science, murdering human beings?
You say, an embryo is a human being. Those birth control methods all terminate the life of the embryo. At any point in time, 400 million women proactively seek out these birth control methods so that they can terminate the life of the embryo. Therefore, they are all, in your view, premeditated murderers.
What is the error in logic. Please point to the specific logical failure? Are you saying that an egg fertilized in the woman with a sperm is not an embryo? Are you saying that an embryo in a woman is not a human being? Are you saying that a woman acting to terminate the life of an embryo is not killing a human being? Are you saying only a small number of women are using birth control methods like the pill, implant, and IUD?
I get the feeling that you don't like the conclusion drawn from your facts and logics so you claim that there is a flaw in the reasoning, not because there is a logical flaw, but because you don't want to admit that billions of people actively and happily, in your view of the world, murder billions of human beings and see nothing wrong with it.
In fact, I bet you have used birth control pills, or an IUD, something similar, (either you personally or your partners) so you are a murder, but you don't want to condemn yourself as a serial killer.
