You just don't get it, do you? You want to give government the power to decide about abortion and gay marriage - and guess what? they have given it to you in spades and crammed it down your throat.

So, 56 MILLION INNOCENT AMERICAN BABIES ARE MURDERED and your solution is to let society deal with it?

This is the EXACT SAME THING the 19th century Whigs wanted to do with slavery. Let me guess, was slavery also a "society" issue in your opinion?

Despite their dodging of the issue, it seems that libertarians are not pro-life.

Libertarianism is something many of us have flirted with. Heck, I did as a young college student. Once I started studying philosophy and actually worked through the implications, I realized that it was actually libertine.

Simply put, all societies organize themselves according to their moral outlook. From speed limits to dress codes. To dump all that and go to “What I want to do is all!” leads not to a nice polite society, but anarchy.
