One can be a libertarian and be a social conservative. For example, Ron Paul, who everyone here loves to hate, is very much anti-abortion.

But he sees it in the proper context...

Ah, so that's where I made my mistake. I didn't see abortion in the "proper context".

Cute reply. but you know my point. If we want to end abortion, it is NOT going to happen by throwing eggs against the massive walls of huge, debt-funded progressive government - with its Obamacare, with its HUD dictates, with the FDA, with the Dept of Education, with its leftist "social justice" apparatus, with its payments to Planned Parenthood, with its "emanations of penumbras," etc...

Exactly!

Libertarians can be "very much anti-abortion" (and keep in mind that anti-abortion is quite different from pro-life), but they see abortion in the "proper context" and that it's society's issue on and not government's. Therefore, libertarians are "very much anti-abortion," but, "it's the woman's right to choose."
