The argument presented above is a fallacy known as begging the question. A fallacy is a confused and incorrect argument that presents wrong reasoning with inefficient premises.
A begging the question is the fallacy where the argument's failure tries to justify the argument's conclusion, using the conclusion itself. In this case, it is as if the argument went around in circles, always presenting the same premise with very little modification. In the above argument, the conclusion that people have the right to decide over their own lives is repeated throughout the argument, which proves that this argument is an example of begging the question.
