Then you don’t believe that abortion is the taking of a life. Otherwise you would be for “the right for the individual to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Are these rights not in the LP platform?
By the way there are federal laws against rape and murder. But I understand you believe them unconstitutional like the draft.
No, I do think that abortion is the abrogation of a person's right to life, which is a no-no according to the 5th amendment of the Constitution which is supposed to protect us against government usurpation of life, liberty or property without due process (not pursuit of happiness, that's in the Declaration, not the Constitution).
By the way there are federal laws against rape and murder.
The federal laws against rape and murder are either 1) Hate crime law, where the fed gov gets to tack on extra time if the victim is the right color or gender, 2) "conspiracy" law, where 2 or more people were involved, or 3) interstate law, where the FBI gets to screw with local law enforcement.
There is nothing federal about murder or rape other than those special cases. Those are state issues (except where the fed gov has been able to exert itself). That's why you get the needle in Texas if you kill my mom, but in Massashusetts you get 3 hots and a cot for 20 years if you off her.
