SLED Test (Acronym)

Front

What does the SLED acronym stand for in pro-life apologetics?

Back

SLED stands for Size, Level of development, Environment, and Degree of dependency. These four differences between a fetus and a newborn do not justify a change in the right to life.

Explanation

Developed by Stephen Schwarz and popularized by Scott Klusendorf, this mnemonic helps identify irrelevant differences often used to disqualify the unborn from personhood.
