How do you respond to a slippery slope fallacy?

There are several ways to debunk slippery slope fallacies:

  • Identify exaggerations or leaps of logic between the initial action and the undesirable outcome.
  • Ask for substantiating evidence supporting the proposed relationships between the predicted events.
  • Evaluate the validity of each link in the chain of events; if any of these links lack rationality or evidence, the entire argument may be compromised.
