| Video Discription | K Hole Adventurer uses an analogy to show that the pro-life position is silly—that it’s kind of like arguing for the rights of a worm. Now, an argument from analogy is a special kind of inductive argument. Basically, it reasons that because two things are similar, what is true of the first is also true of the second. Of course, no analogy is perfect—there will always be differences. But for an argument from analogy to work, the similarities have to be significant and the differences have to be superficial. But if the opposite is true—if the differences are significant and the similarities are superficial—well, then, we have a problem. Unfortunately for K Hole, this is a false analogy. The argument doesn’t work because tapeworms and humans are really different. The similarities are superficial, but the difference is a big deal. And you already know what it is. It’s the difference between the value of worms and the value of humans. Killing a worm is not the same as killing a human being. But there’s a second problem. The analogy misunderstands the pro-life argument. We are not saying that anything inside your body with a heartbeat that feels pain has a right to life. We are not pro-life because something has a heartbeat, or feels pain, or is inside your body. We are pro-life because abortion kills a human being inside her own mother’s body. Our argument is that human beings at any stage of development have intrinsic value and should not be killed. So, the tweet uses a faulty analogy to argue there’s an inconsistency in the pro-life view. But there is nothing inconsistent about pro-lifers being against killing human beings who are intrinsically valuable and being for killing tapeworms because they’re just worms.
