A better means would be to not lay with a man if you don't want to become pregnant.
...To its inevitable conclusion. What did this Smith character think was going to happen?
Libertarian. What a load a feces.
One wonders how many abortions Cuomo has personally paid for.
“ supporter of a woman’s natural right to control her own body, by means of an abortion, if necessary.“
Libertarian or not, religious or not, it is not a matter of woman’s own body. The fact is that once the person is conceived he or she is a person attached to the mother.
The baby is not the mother’s body. The baby is a distinct human individual, being nourished by the mother’s body.
Boycotting New York products will not change anything. No one will notice. I don’t care where my coffee comes from.
The government has as its main function to protect the life and property of residents. Libertarians accept that fact.
The morality of killing babies has nothing to do with religion. It comes from our human nature. Most religions today have no clue what is meant by human nature, and would not understand what I’m saying.
Such a specious and immoral argument. The baby is not the woman's body. At conception it is 50% mother's DNA and 50% father's DNA. After 8 days it has it's own blood supply.
The baby is no more part of the woman than a person on life support is a part of the hospital.
IL Douchebag is destroying New York!
As a libertarian (who places natural individual rights above the power of the State), actively permitting the killing a human being while it is most vulnerable is the most criminal misuse of state power that can exist.
The author explains precisely why abortion is such a slippery slope. He is ok with abortion up to six months. But fifty years of that has desensitized and inured people to the horror of that mass killing, it’s a small step to what NY and VA are doing.
Of course, it cannot be contained there. Next will be parents deciding that infant’s some abnormality is bad. Then it will be because the child is “inconvenient” to “too expensive” or “we changed our mind.” Then it will be elderly people against their will. Finally, it will be “Wild in the Streets.”
Doesn’t the author mean the murderous democrat politicians?

The one flaw in that reasoning is that the baby that the woman is pregnant with, is not *her own body*. It's not an extension of her body, as if it were a mole or tumor being removed.
It's a genetically distinct human being with its own DNA.
Hence, her actions affect not only her body, but the body or another individual, one who CANNOT speak for themselves or defend themselves.
THAT is the issue with that argument. If it were indeed ONLY her body, no problem, but it's involving two.
And intentionally taking the life of another human being is murder.
If any person killed another in the same way the abortionists slaughter those babies, there would be calls for a return of the death penalty.
Acid attacks are universally condemned, but saline abortions? Fine.
Dismembering a person still alive would get someone locked up for life at the very least. Slicing the baby apart limb from limb, is a *woman's right to choose*.
Any murder done to an adult in the manner the abortionist performs the abortions would be considered sick and evil, and twisted.
The irony is, we demand the death penalty be humane and not cruel and unusual for serial killers and sadists, rapists and people who torture and kill others, but the baby, who has done nothing, can be killed in the most horrific manner possible.
The baby didn't even ask to be conceived. It just has the misfortune of being an inconvenience to the woman and she's given the right to do to that baby what no sane human would ever think of doing to another.
The best bumper sticker I saw said *It's easy to be pro-abortion when you're not the one being killed*.
No more murderous than any of the other 49 where abortion mills are churning. God doesn’t care if 10 weeks or 36 weeks.
Oh yes “body control”. Lack of sexual control and zero feks for the product of sex which is human life. The choice of having sex vs the disposal human of life which is no different between cell one to human. One would think birth CONTROL has the success rate of picking horses in a race.
Has the state capitol of New York been renamed Munich or Berlin?
One reason I could never be a libertarian, is that you can't just ignore things and expect issues to just work themselves out. Instead it provides somewhat of a tacit approval that expands the issues as time goes by.
I believe this person to be in utter denial about being a disgusted by the newest agenda.
Those who are pro-abortion and say they are against the newest push only striving to high the body before the birth.
If the unborn child can be incinerated or flushed away without it being seen, he/she is okay with it.
It’s all about hiding the murdered person’s body.
