"It should not surprise us that, with the attacks on traditional morality of the past thirty years, adoption--a traditional answer to unwanted pregnancies--would come under attack also."

My question is: Is this a slippery slope fallacy?

yes. The small wedge of untruth was: the attacks on... which then leads to the great untruth about adoption.

Thank you!!!!

To determine whether the statement you provided contains a slippery slope fallacy, we first need to understand what a slippery slope fallacy is.

A slippery slope fallacy occurs when a person argues that a particular action will inevitably lead to a series of increasingly negative consequences, without providing sufficient evidence to support this causal link. The fallacy lies in the assumption that a small or initial action will inevitably result in a much larger or extreme outcome.

In the statement you presented, there is a suggestion that attacks on traditional morality have led to questioning and challenging the adoption process as a solution to unwanted pregnancies. However, it does not assert that attacks on traditional morality will inevitably lead to this outcome, without providing any evidence or logical connection.

So, based on the information given, it is not accurate to classify this statement as a slippery slope fallacy. It is expressing an opinion or a perspective on the potential consequences of attacks on traditional morality, but it does not necessarily imply a slippery slope argument. It is important to recognize that the identification of fallacies requires careful consideration of the specific logic and evidence used in the argument.
