No fallacy. Of course, premise 1 is debatable. |

Aside from what others have mentioned, we have elements of the ambiguity fallacy from implicitly redefining terms leading to a non sequitur wherein we jump from having no reason for doing something to being advised against it. If we accept the premises as true, P1 talks about there being no reason to love someone in a given situation and P2 describes the situation occurring. The logical conclusion from these two premises would be that the mother has no reason to love her children ... not that she shouldn't. |
