"Which begs the question: ..."

This now-ubiquitous phrase is a misuse of the name of the fallacy.

However, we're at a point where it's no problem to continue using it. Everyone knows what's meant by it, and it's fairly natural to use it in conversation. But if you want to use an alternative, you can say:

which prompts the question

which raises the question

which makes one wonder
