Logical Fallacy of Overlooking Secondary Consequences
The Logical Fallacy of Overlooking Secondary Consequences occurs when only the immediate effects of a decision are taken into account while other ramifications are ignored.
Examples of the Logical Fallacy of Overlooking Secondary Consequences
“It’s my body. I can have an abortion if I like.”
This statement doesn’t take into account that a baby is being murdered. It ignores the guilt of this act and the effect on the mother: hardening of the heart, the abortion-breast cancer link, the abortion-depression link, the abortion-suicide links, risk to future ability to have children, or Post-Abortion Syndrome (PAS), which may be emotional, physical, psychological, social, moral, or medical.
