The libertarian view on abortion shows the absolute absurdity and hypocrisy of the Libertarian party.

Liberty by its very definition is "freedom from oppression".. for someone to claim their liberty gives them the right to opress... not only opress, but opress in such a heinous way as to deny the innocent its inalienable right to life.. is a bastardization and perversion of the very concept of liberty.

You cannot argue your liberty gives you the right to engage in the most heinous act of oppression there can be, that of denying the inalienable right to life to an innocent human being. That is utter hypocrisy, and intellectionally dishonest and it shows just one more time that the modern "libertarian" party does not know or care about liberty.

"Libertarians" are nothing more than spoiled children trying to codify their selfishness behing some greater ideology, sadly.

You'd better watch out, that is a "despicable off topic lie." (And don't start thinking that the FACTS as laid out in the Libertarian Party platform have anything to do with it!)

That is why the vast majority of libertarians never do that. But that won't keep people from lying about it and trying to high-jack the thread from it's real topic to their favorite obsession,,,hating liberty.

The thread is about people in error coming to their senses, not about personal agendas of obsessed posters.

Depends on the Libertarian. You could substitute the word "Democrats" or "Republicans" in your post and have it be accurate as well.

Trying to pigeonhole an entire group of people on the basis of a political label is painting with an overly broad brush and is, in my view, counter-productive. There are anti-infanticide Libertarians out there as well as some anti-infanticide Democrats. I happen to be one of them.

Last I checked, the broader goal of the pro-life movement was to end infanticide. Hard stop. It wasn't to necessarily agree on the minutae of differing political philosophies.
