A slippery slope argument about Abortion states :
Answer: B
The slippery slope argument states that if abortion is justified, killing the child is also justified.
A slippery slope argument claims that accepting one practice commits us, step by step, to accepting another that is clearly unacceptable. Against abortion, it says there is no non-arbitrary line between a foetus late in pregnancy and a newborn child, so if killing the foetus is justified, killing the newborn would be justified too. Since infanticide is wrong, the argument concludes, abortion is wrong.
The other options deny the link the argument depends on, or simply assert that both are justified, which is the conclusion it tries to show to be absurd.
