That's how I understand it. If it applies, "You've just taken a reasonable proposition that none of us disagrees with, and used it to defend an unreasonable and unconnected one." does not.

And if the might latex savior, the condom, doesn't work, have an abortion.

Don't dig that one up... Just because you lost the Abortion argument last time doesn't mean we need to have it again...

I mean, all you have to do is pay us for one and we will gladly perform one for a low cost.
Come on, we need to perform abortions after sex ed falls flat on its face.

Do you have any concept of how many pregnancies sex ed prevents? You have to let the odd one go, come on...

If we stopped performing abortions we would go out of business. How do you think we make money? With sex ed? Are you out of your mind?"

Now we're getting onto the issue of the NHS, which is a totally different minefield...
