You really need more information to determine whether this is a fallacy. For example, does the referenced letter indicate selective morality? Are there previous examples of selective morality?

One thing that is wrong with that sentence is the grammar, it should say “evident in her July 15 letter” or “demonstrated in her July 15 letter” not “showing through in her July 15 letter.”

Letter to the editor: “Andrea Keene’s selective morality is once again showing through in her July 15 letter. This time she expresses her abhorrence of abortion. But how we see only what we choose to see! I wonder if any of the anti-abortionists have considered the widespread use of fertility drugs as the moral equivalent of abortion, and, if they have, why they haven’t come out against them, too. The use of these drugs frequently results in multiple births, which leads to the death of one of the infants, often after an agonizing struggle for survival. According to the rules of the pro-lifers, isn’t this murder?”

i think of all this no longer worrying enormously needless to say places the author dangerously close to to the comparable class as terrorists. If we perform by potential of the comparable regulations and ethical standards as they do, how are we from now on appropriate? heavily, this individual would not care if human beings are tortured or shot without only reason, would not care approximately freedom of speech, loose press, freedom of religion and on and on. have they have been given any easily ideals in any respect as properly ‘we are greater appropriate than they are, so we would desire to continually shoot/torture/kill them every time we like? i do no longer agree.

straw man. she doesn’t talk about ms keene’s view on abortion, she brings up something completely separate, fertility drugs. that has nothing to do with the argument she’s trying to make.
