Clint.. the logic was always "Avoid getting cancer, it can kill you".

Good so far

That particular bit of logic is still sound,

OK

only you can't apply it in this situation because abortion may not be linked to cancer.

Sorry, simple sophistry is still simple. Abortion IS linked to cancer. Logic by definition is reason or motive (a statement of justification) and in this case for NOT doing something, if the motive or reason changes then by its virtue the logic changes…you’ve simply reversed the definition to meet your own sophistry. Are you madg’s alter ego?

Nice try, but thanks or playing anyway. Did your professors actually teach you that bit of BS or are you just another casualty of liberal education?

"Sorry, simple sophistry is still simple."

Did you learn the word "sophistry" recently? You use it constantly. And incorrectly.

"Abortion IS linked to cancer."

That's in dispute.

"Logic by definition"

All of a sudden you're interested in definitions. Ok.. define murder.

"is reason or motive"

Logic is reasoning dealing with objective validity. It can be faulty or correct, but unlike "you're wrong" its ideas can be tested. I'm sorry that reasoning things out is so offensive to you, but it can still be used in arguments against abortion.

"and in this case for NOT doing something, if the motive or reason changes then by its virtue the logic changes…"

The details can change, yes. But logic can still be applied.

"Are you madg’s alter ego?"

If it makes you feel better after making a fool of yourself all day, then yes.

"Nice try, but thanks or playing anyway."

Another overused Clint phrase.

Why do you feel compelled to argue with and insult people who mostly agree with your basic position?
