Generally, we believe that government hasn't been given the power to interfere in non-criminal areas such as abortion. -

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it,
In the libertarian paradigm, the Right-to-Life is not a self-evident, unalienable right.
Instead of defending this most precious of fundamental rights, spineless libertarians hide behind the very laws that permit the atrocity of mass-infanticide to continue.

In the libertarian paradigm, the Right-to-Life is not a self-evident, unalienable right.

Of course it is. - You just choose to ignore the pregnant womans rights in the moral dilemma of abortion. -- Goverments can not. They are constitutionally bound to defend rights with their delegated powers, as I stated above.

Instead of defending this most precious of fundamental rights, spineless libertarians hide behind the very laws that permit the atrocity of mass-infanticide to continue.

Not at all. - It is spineless of you to generalize so about 'libertarians'. We do not hide, and do not advocate 'infantcide'.
You sound like a kook to so claim.
