To be accurate the doctor compared the abortion shot to the flue shot, not abortion itself to getting a flue shot. Not being accurate is how credibility and the argument is lost. Argument is much more effective when logical fallacies aren’t committed, in this case the article author imagined up a strawman - that the doctor directly compared abortion to a flu shot.

Carmen Landau, please die an excruciating yet somewhat amusing death.

Abortion doctor Carmen Landau tells the investigator that the injection that will kill her baby is “like any shot, you know, like a flu shot, or a vaccine, really.” Contrary to a large body of evidence, she alleges that babies in the womb do not feel pain or anguish from a poisonous injection, claiming that “it’s not like you and I [sic] where when we get a flu shot, we’re kind of, ‘Ugh!’ – not – that – that – that experience of anxiety and suffering is not – it [the baby]‘s not capable of.”

The shot is the abortion so yes the abortion is akin to getting a flu shot.
I fully agree with your statement regarding accuracy. Far too often it’s a casualty on these threads.
