That Doesn’t Follow

“Conservatives obviously don’t really care about the unborn, because they don’t care about the rights of women, immigrants, and LGBTQ people.” 

That’s what’s called a Non Sequitur, which is a logical fallacy. Aside from any other errors that might be in the above statement, it doesn’t follow that just because you don’t care about one person that then you must not really care about another person. A man can love his wife dearly and not particularly care for his annoying co-worker.

Then we can move on to the question of whether or not the supposed “rights” assumed in the above statement really are rights.
