What is the informal fallacy “Begging the Question” in layman’s terms?
In: 95
It means you’ve framed the issue in a manner that assumes the truth of the conclusion you want to reach, making your argument look logical but it isn’t even really an argument. Abortion debates are often just arguments of this nature. Really, many political arguments use this fallacy, often without the participants realizing it, so everybody just talks past each other.
