False dichotomy.
I'm not saying logic doesn't have a place in the argument. I'm saying it isn't everything. There is a place in between banning everything that hurts people and going full anti-science. I would like to believe that we pretty much all fall somewhere between the two ends of the spectrum. Logic just isn't the sole arbiter of where the "right" place to fall on that spectrum is.
