Both pro-life and pro-choice people are guilty of polarizing national politics to the point of damaging the nation.

But I'm sure the Libertarians can save us pro-lifers from ourselves.

You're a nutcase, if you think folks who try to prevent the murder of the innocent are somehow harming this country. You would have called abolitionists a danger to our country 140 years ago, by your flawed logic.

Respectfually....

Three of the last four Libertarian nominees for President openly called for the Repeal of Roe vs. Wade (Paul '88, Browne '96, Browne '00). The lone pro-abortionist "sore thumb" was Marrou '92. And I didn't vote for him, neither, so I'm washin' my hands on that one.

Your fight is not with Libertarians, Polycarp. If Libertarians were judged by the same standards as Republicans (that is, treating the milquetoast "abortion in case of exceptions" -- rape, incest, first trimester in case of "health", etc -- as though they are "Pro-Lifers"), then surveys will demonstrate that more than half of the Libertarian Party are "Pro-Life".

Of course, I will willingly admit that only maybe one-third of Libertarians are Principled Pro-Lifers who take an uncompromising Pro-Life stance on the basis of ETHICS, not transient poll-data... but then, isn't that also true of Republicans?

You just made my point for me, do you really think that the abortion issue is worth a civil war in this country?

Somebody needs to save this nation from pro-lifers and pro-choicers.
