It's not that you're all about freedom. Even the 16 year old driver is under the supervision of parents.
But if this is really about choice and freedom... then let's give the guys the choice and freedom to be part of the decision. Or the choice and freedom to decide if they are financially liable or not for the next 18 years. And let's extend this choice until the baby is ... say age 2. By the time it's 2 then a real determination can be made if the thing is dumb, or smart, good looking or not.... or if the mother is really going to like being a mom or not. Or if the dad is really going to want to care for the kid.
You're not really about choice or freedom. You're about women killing their own babies. That's your bottom line. And unfortunately our government uses mine and your tax dollars everyday in this process. And if I'm going to pay for it... then the choice is part mine too.
Not really Im more about choice and personal responsablity.
Your point about a 16 year old being under adult supervision I dont understand. If they are driving in their car alone are their parents still responsable for their actions or should the kid be?
We could say the same thing about any item in the budget. The USS Sequoia being in the budget was okay with you then? A yacht that was sold off in the 70s but just got bought again?
My ideal as a libertarian is to give people the rights to choose whatever they want to. I dont think you should make a decision for others but you seem to want to. To me a clump of cells isnt a human life.
If your going to go all balistic about this abortion stuff then why dont you tell me how you feel about Sun Hudson. Heres a living baby that was killed!

Its hypocracy to say Im about killing babies in the womb (they arent even babies IMO) when laws are now in place to kill off living babies and you dont even mention that.
