I’ve been a libertarian my entire adult life. Libertarianism, as I’ve been an apologist for it, is a philosophy promoting individual rights, civil liberties, and the freedom to have manifest destiny over one’s own life and property. I am opposed to the government telling people what they can do with their minds and bodies. I am consistent on this whether the issue is consensual intimate relations between adults, or the freedom to self-medicate and self-entertain oneself using the agricultural or pharmaceutical product of one’s choice, or the responsibility of parents to choose what their children are taught about how the human race came to be, or whether it’s regarding the decision of a woman not to carry a fetus to term in her womb.

The last sentence just makes you another libertarian fraud and pretender. No aggression except on the weakest members of the species homo sapiens.

Pathetic.

If it is a “member” of the species homo sapiens then you’re correct. Since I hold to the original Hebrew teaching that one does not join the human race until one’s immortal soul enters the mortal body with its first intake of breath (the original meaning of the word “spirit” is “breath,” hence “inspiration” means “intake of breath,” I don’t view abortion as “aggression” any more than a hysterectomy would be. A fetus is living tissue but has no humanity until a soul enters it.
