You have seemingly bought into the false media portrayal (unfortunately reinforced by many not-very-bright pro-lifers) that the abortion issue is somehow religious in nature. It is not. In reality, any ethical libertarian atheist ought to oppose abortion.
What I choose to believe is right or wrong is inconsequential to the conversation, since it was asked if Boortz—not me—supports a pro choice position. My personal belief is that abortion is wrong. Yes, I am not for abortion as a libertarian. I also vote Republican unless a Democrat is an honorable rational person that is the better choice (a very rare activity).
I was stating what most libertarians seem to believe, based on googling libertarian websites. But since libertarians can range from anarchists to conservatives, putting Boortz, libertarians, or me into a box is a mistake.
Regarding my freedom to ignore or exercise religion—that’s my right and prerogative NOT THE GOVERNMENTS. No one can constitutionally impose religious dogma, especially when there are 100,000 sects in christianity alone— there’s even two different versions of the ten commandments. And one of my examples is how I perform sexually with my girlfriend or wife or girlfriend and wife. Nor is it your constitutional right to impose dry counties based on a misunderstanding of several scriptures in the Bible. Nor is it wrong to teach that masterbation is a form of birth control, which it is.
I mention this because religious intrusion seems to the habitual act of the GOP when they get into power... something that isn’t conservative or constitutional by definition. And that is what turns many people off.
Exactly right. Do we believe in EVERYONE is equal under the law or not? Just those who can physically speak up? That is not very libertarian.
