notice you did not dispute the quote I'm not fond of watching cattle butchering either, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying a cheeseburger. Since I was on the subject of logical fallacies elsewhere, I believe the name for that fallacy is Irrelevant Appeal to Emotion. Maybe I should preempt a new fallacy that might arise. Just because I enjoy a cheeseburger doesn't mean I enjoy abortions. There are many preferable solutions or preventaions to unwanted pregnancy. Nearly all of the fallacies that are consistently found in this line of argument are ones of Equivocation or Appeal to Motive. TP P.S. IF it were a hoax there surely would have been howls of protest and it should be easy to verify. I'm not sure the name of this fallacy, but it is in the category of a Syllogism. I never heard of this practice before you brought it up, and I am reasonably well informed. Second, it is the responsibility of those those making the claim to supply the evidence for it. Anyone else can only show an absense of evidence, as I showed the absense of the company that supposidly prints out these price lists. A cursory look at Google shows that the story is repeated multiple times, but only on anti-abortion web sites and with no new information added. If it were true then there would be plenty of sources supplying different accounts instead of just the same account cut and pasted into multiple web sites. -- That by the way is the same syllogistic argument, but reversed.
