Is there a middle ground between killing an infant or not killing an infant (up to birth), Kewpie Doll?A false dilemma fallacy occurs when an argument presents a complex situation as having only two extreme choices while ignoring other valid alternatives. Also known as a false dichotomy or "black-and-white" thinking, this oversimplification forces a choice between two options where a middle ground or spectrum of possibilities actually exists. [1, 2, 3]
