Since forcible drowning would already be covered , I would say none are warranted there either.
My branch of the libertarian tree also tells me abortion is on the same side of the fence as violence and state governments should answer to their citizens .
Abortion is an issue unlike almost any other in government . It is perhaps the only issue I can think of that rivals slavery and the battle for civil rights as needing separate and unique considerations .
Like slavery and civil rights , there is no gray area in my humble , yet unerringly correct opinion .
The problem with looking at marriage as strictly a religious covenant is that so much of society’s foundation is based on marriage and a traditional family structure. What about the children? And property and inheritance? I tend to hold libertarain views on most things, but I don’t think society can toss marriage and the family structure out the window without doing real harm to children and civilization itself.
