So you often hear excuses or justifications to ban something to "protect children", e.g.
We should ban pornography in order to protect children
Is there a word that describes this sort of justification or is it some sort of fallacy (the specific fallacy would also help).

What exactly do you mean by this? Are you thinking of the idiom don't cut off your nose to spite your face or, alternatively, don't throw out the baby with the bath water? Both of which are examples of expressions that argue against drawing conclusions that are too broad.
– Jason Bassford
Mar 28 at 6:11
@JasonBassford No, I don't see how those two are related. My sentence is about justification, not drawing conclusions.
– A. Lau

But a conclusion only can be drawn through justification—and can only be accepted by the other party, if they think it's sound. To rephrase, you should cut off your nose in order to make your face even or you should throw out the baby in order to drain the dirty water. I don't see how either of those is intrinsically different than the sentence you provided: you should x in order to y. As far as I can tell, you're saying that the evidence for the conclusion isn't sufficiently compelling—so, the otherwise too-broad conclusion isn't justified . . .
– Jason Bassford
Mar 28 at 12:58
In other words, I should drink in order to stop my thirst is fine because the conclusion isn't broad and the justification for it is sufficient to address it.
