12. If we want this to be a formal argument, we need something like:

Premise 1) Whatever is repellant visually is morally wrong.

Premise 2) Watching an abortion is repellant visually.

Therefore, abortion is morally wrong.

There are a few problems with this argument, but the most glaring was picked up by the pro-choice advocate who mentions the counter examples.
