..... hope you're also "pro-choice" ..... let every one make his own "choice" .....

Beginning, of course, with the unborn baby?

Does he get a choice?

Or are the defenseless unborn rated neither an advocate -- Hank, for example -- nor a crack at Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness with you Anti-Life folks?

Anti-Life folks?

Is it possible to have a dialogue without using EXTREMES? Personally I see most of life and answers as having "buts" attached. I'd think you'd know better than to say folk on FR are Anti-Life!!!! Get serious.

I happen to be a libertarian, and I stand firm in support of the right of unborn children to live. I came to this conclusion by recognizing that at some point in the womb, the growing child becomes a human being. I am technologically unable to determine precisely when this occurrs. Is it after the first cell division? No, I don't think so. Is it after the first month? Maybe.

I just don't know.

So being unable to determine precisely when this occurrs, and knowing that it varies from preganancy to pregnancy... I must err on the side of caution and adopt a pro-life position.

Nearly half of all libertarians are pro-life. Those who I've spoken with who are not, disagree not on the principle (protection of life).... but on the facts... (whether or not the developing child becomes a human life, or more precisely when)

As a libertarian, I can understand the debate over facts, even as I maintain my own opinion regarding them. I could not understand an argument over the principle.
