The pro-life syllogism — abortion is wrong because it intentionally kills an innocent human being

Why Every Pro-Choice Argument Fails 00:17:59 – 00:21:01

Mike's core logical argument against abortion, credited to Scott Klusendorf

Mike presents the classic pro-life syllogism promoted by Scott Klusendorf. Premise 1: It is wrong to intentionally kill an innocent human being. Premise 2: Abortion intentionally kills an innocent human being. Conclusion: Therefore abortion is wrong. He also critiques dishonest pro-choice language: websites say 'the pregnancy is removed' or 'the uterus is evacuated,' which obscures the reality that a living whole human being is being killed. He calls this deliberate linguistic obfuscation a sign of moral embarrassment about what is actually happening.
