So to answer your statement: No, it’s not a logical fallacy. That’s just a made-up notion of a popular, warped, and celebrity “stamp of approval” think-tank, like this board and many other segregated echo chambers of the internet.
There is no begging the question. We know that a fetus will become a human life capable of contemplating the very question we ask. The only thing we can’t “know for sure” is when. Anyone empathetic enough to that proposition can do the research and come to a rational conclusion though. The fetus develops sensory response in the first trimester. Touch, taste, hearing, smell, and eyesight. Cognitive function is what undoubtably makes us human. There’s also extensive study that proves that language development, pattern recognition, and memory are imprinted in the womb through interaction with the mother in the third trimester.
By all means though, close your eyes and say “but we don’t know for sure.” By that same logic, a schizophrenic mass-murderer can claim they don’t “know for sure” that anyone is more than a figment of their imagination. Personal perspective doesn’t change the fact that common sense conclusions exist. If you hear hooves and want to argue zebras, you’re just a fool.
If abortion wasn’t a grievance, why the society-breaking level of grievance from both parties? Obviously life is much more convenient with abortion as an option for both men and women. It’s more logical to assert that it’s a justified convenience instead of what would be a dreaded hardship for a certain group of people. I also think that any logical, empathetic person would be more worried about being wrong about the assumptions of inception of human life, something we are already making a bold claim we “don’t know” about in proponent to the contrary and forego the possibility of being an incorrect murderer. Ah but you see, the lack of caution and personal responsibility is ironically a common theme for one side of this debate. So let’s talk about “my choice.”
Women should have choice over their bodies. In fact they do. Every woman selects who they mate with. It wasn’t always this way. They choose who enters their bodies and creates the possibility of a child. In the fringe, fringe cases of rape which are used as a pillar of the argument for many, and by the way statistically 1/10000000(another logical fallacy). I think it can be justifiable to terminate the pregnancy due to the complex relationship that it would obviously create between mother and child and surrounding community. But for the other 9999999 cases where a woman incapable of self-control(consensual sex with a non-partner) or obvious foresight(contraception)it’s not LOGICAL to give the same “justification” for the vast majority out of intention for the very few.
