    “We should raise the voting age because people under 18 shouldn’t vote”

    The conclusion is rephrased to support itself. In this case it begs the question why shouldn’t people under 18 vote?

    I think “raising the question” can also be used in this instance, while “begs the question” exclusively references the fallacy.
