    Identify fallacies
    Tell why you
    Think these are fallacies, and identify which category they belong in, if they
    Fit any category we’ve described.



    Letter to the editor: “Andrea Keene’s selective morality is once again
    showing through in her July 15 letter. This time she expresses her abhorrence
    of abortion. But how we see only what we choose to see! I wonder
    if any of the anti-abortionists have considered the widespread use of
    fertility drugs as the moral equivalent of abortion, and, if they have,
    why they haven’t come out against them, too. The use of these drugs
    frequently results in multiple births, which leads to the death of one
    of the infants, often after an agonizing struggle for survival. According
    to the rules of the pro-lifers, isn’t this murder?”

    I don't think multiple births from fertility drugs would be considered murder to anti abortionists because it would fall more under natures natural selection and survival of the fittest. Man did not physically intercept the life and all were given equal chance as far as humanly possible.

    sky97 this sounds like a homework question... it's not nice to throw out disagrees to someone trying to be helpful with your homework.

    Bushg is right - sure sounds like homework. The OP has two other posts asking about fallacies.

    Must be homework or she would be open to opinions not geared toward a set reply or else she is falling into her own statement we see only what we choose to see!
    I would think.

    This is the statement I have to decide what fallacy it is. The statement has nothing to do with my beliefes.

    The fallacy is the fact that they are only seeing what they want to see and accusing Andrea Keene of the selective morality when they are making a fallacy statement equating fertility drugs with murder. Sorry it doesn't answer your question though.
