So what do you propose? A Federal law outlawing abortion? There's no Federal Law against murder (apart from Federal employees), we leave most laws of life and property up to the states. If you dislike that, work to amend the Constitution. Sometimes it seems to me that both sides of the aisle claim to support the Constitution, as long as it serves their interests (ACLU liberals support the 4th and 5th but not the 2d and 10th, "conservatives" support the 2d while being very selective of what parts of the 10th they like, and both are very selective about what parts of the 1st amendment they support)
So, you think that making cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine even more available will make society "safer"?
Does legalizing alcohol make society safer from being killed or maimed by drunk drivers, or families safe from being shattered by alcoholism? In spite of all this, we (rightly) value liberty more than state-enforced "safety" and reject prohibition (or at least enough sense to recognize that enriching organized crime cartels doesn't make our streets any safer either). The same arguments apply to illicit drugs. They're unhealthy. They ruin lives. So does alcohol. The difference is....???
Great, but believe that two people of the same gender should be allowed to marry each other? You rejected a concept, what do you think the LAW should be?
I think that I made it clear that the government should not recognize homosexual marriage.
Did Terri Schiavo volunteer to die? No.
Did Lauren Richardson volunteer to die? No.
Sun Hudson? Haleigh Poutre? Scott Thomas? Etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.…
When you advocate “voluntary” euthanasia, that is just a euphemism for forced euthanasia, wrapped up in a pretty package.
However, NO STATE has ever legalized murder; were they to do so, the 14th Amendment would certainly apply.
We had a war the last time states were allowed to decide personhood.

You do a great job at hitting all of the libertarian taking points, but you avoid actually answering my questions.
Do you believe that unborn children have the same constitutional rights as any other person? YES or NO.
And by the way, libertarian devotion to a certain part of the 10 Amendment makes them the ultimate statists.
And how could I forget Baby Knauer? Did he/she volunteer?
Peter Singer is a special kind of evil
I see the difference, but my question is why should one be right when the other is wrong.
In studying for his Ph.D., who did this monster study under? Dr. Mengele? Singer would make an excellent Nazi.
government authorized death, death by any means, spirals out of control....maybe the tramps down by the railway station should be next....or the unemployed....never an end to government authorized death.....that is my point!
Not saying either is right or wrong, but voluntary vs. coerced should at least be a factor in the arguments on the subject.
Interesting that he could not euthanize his own demented mother.
Is he still teaching Ethics at Princeton.
“Dear” Dr. Death and Prof. Death.
Since you are both so enamored with suicide, with all due respect, I recommend that
you both try it. It is a one-way ticket to Hell, so you will find yourselves right at home.
IOW, go to Hell, you butchering monsters.

Thanks for the ping!
I was under the impression that I had already answered them.
I'll make it easier for you:
Do you believe that unborn children have the same constitutional rights as any other person? YES or NO.
