Most libertarians I know are pro-life. It's one thing to be pro-life and another to believe the government should get involved in the abortion business. Or to put it another way, if you really want to stop all abortions, just convince everyone to be pro-life. Then no one will get them, right?

Oh, I forgot. Pro-life (at least for the first trimester) has never been able to win in the marketplace of ideas, so you marketplace losers need the government to subsidize your viewpoint. You guys are a bunch of viewpoint socialists.

Libertarians will always be at odds with the Talibanarians (Right) and communitarianist-common-gooders (Left) as they hold liberty, rather than power over others, as their highest ideal.

Someday, people might wake up and want to throw off the yokes, but we're a long way from "Give me liberty, or give me death".

You should try to actually comprehend the posts you respond to.

Big "L" versus small "l". Learn it.

And take your secular humanistic Libertarianism and shove it.

Wow - Very well put. I don't know that I fully agree, as I do not put much weight on what the public thinks or does not think in regards to determining policy positions and have not thought through all the ramifications here. But I do agree that "government should get involved in the abortion business." As I see it, that is a private matter that should be decided privately.

In my reply #264, to your #252, I errored in one sentence stating:

But I do agree that "government should get involved in the abortion business."

Some how I left the wore "not" out of the sentence. What I meant to say is:

But I do not agree that "government should get involved in the abortion business."
