Good for the libertarians like me. (Though I hate abortion. It's a life, not a "choice")

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I am a Libertarian and I oppose abortion. If life begins at conception, then that life has a fundamental right to life. In our Declaration of Independence, it is stated that we hold this truth to be self evident.

As a Libertarian I would support an abortion, only in the case where the mother's health or life is ***seriously*** endangered.

Same here. There's an organization named Libertarians for Life that believes in the following principles:

1. Human offspring are human beings, persons from fertilization.
2. Abortion is homicide -- the killing of one person by another.
3. There is never a right to kill an innocent person. Prenatally, we are all innocent persons.
4. A prenatal child has the right to be in the mother's body. Parents have no right to evict their children from the crib or from the womb and let them die. Instead both parents, the father as well as the mother, owe them support and protection from harm.
5. No government, nor any individual, has a just power to legally depersonify any one of us, born or preborn. 6. The proper purpose of the law is to side with the innocent, not against them.
