Angrboda said: "Either, a, you are implicitly asserting that the preborn are possessed of all human rights including the right to life, which is the same as your conclusion and is therefore an example of begging the question and is thus an invalid argument."

No, this is not correct. That could be said of any Argument. Take this one: All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore, Socrates is mortal. You cannot say that in a I am implicitly asserting Socrates is mortal, and therefore, my conclusion is invalid. A is a General Truth. B is a Particular Statement. C follows from both.

It doesn't matter, Nish, you are assuming that the preborn have those rights in premise #1 and since that is what is at issue, your assuming it is not allowed. Otherwise I can just assume the opposite. It becomes an ipse dixit argument and is therefore invalid. I've given you four ways it can be described as wrong and you quibble with one because you don't like the conclusion. You are a textbook example of a person who engages in motivated reasoning. Instead of trying to explain why you think the preborn have rights, your answer is, "Because I said so." Sorry Nish, that's not logic or reason.
