True

Explanation:

A fallacy is an error reasoning. The slippery slope fallacy is a common fallacy.

The slippery slope fallacy happens when the speaker attempts to move away from a question at hand by arguing that a decision could cause spiral or multiplier consequences. These consequences are blamed on the question at hand rather than decisions that could be made to bring about these consequences.
