“The popular, liberalized Libertarian Party has dismissed the value of life”
I don’t think so. The libertarians may very well be pro life. It is that they think that each individual must make up their own mind and not be forced by govt. on the issue of abortion.
Common advice is for pregnant women not to smoke or drink.
Pro life freepers might want to enforce a law that women not drink or smoke. Libertarians would vigorously oppose such a law.
I make a distinction between the liberalized Libertarian Party and plain ol’ libertarianism. Click my handle to see how differentiate the relevant classifications.
