This seems an invalid syllogism, is it? Life begins at conception...Abortion is murder...therefore Murder is wrong.This seems an invalid syllogism, is it? Life begins at conception...Abortion is murder...therefore Murder is wrong.

Yes, it is invalid.
X begins at Y. A is B. B is C. It's is wrong in so many ways. Be careful you are not strawmanning anyone. This seems too ridiculous for any one to have actually made this argument. I have heard: P1. Human life begins at conception. P2. Unjustified killing of a human life is murder. P3. Abortion is unjustified killing of a human life. C. Abortion is murder. This makes more sense, but of course, one can argue with any of the premises. |
