Are we now to believe that the GOP haters who oppose this legislation, ie, the Libertarians, paleocons, Buchananites, Reformers, and, apparently, the Constitution Party, along with the Democrats, Socialists, liberals, et al, are correct and the pro-life, pro-family and religious leaders and organizations who support it have been scamming us all this time?

That's a pretty broad brush there Jim. Whether they support the ban as it winds it way through the Congress remains to be seen but I'll be watching to see what Libertarians For Life have to say before I support the bill.

In case you or others are unaware of this organization here's their Libertarian Case Against Abortion:

To explain and defend our case, LFL argues that:
1. Human offspring are human beings, persons from fertilization.
2. Abortion is homicide -- the killing of one person by another.
3. There is never a right to kill an innocent person. Prenatally, we are all innocent persons.
4. A prenatal child has the right to be in the mother's body. Parents have no right to evict their children from the crib or from the womb and let them die. Instead both parents, the father as well as the mother, owe them support and protection from harm.
5. No government, nor any individual, has a just power to legally depersonify any one of us, born or preborn.
6. The proper purpose of the law is to side with the innocent, not against them.

This is one of the few groups that I actively support. Hopefully you and/or others can as well.

Well, we seem to have the same group of characters rounded up here to oppose this bill as we've seen opposing just about everything to do with Bush or the GOP (or FR for that matter). And most of them claim to be Libertarians, Paleocons, Buchananites, Reformers, Constitutionists (the Party not the real deal), etc, etc, etc.

So, are you claiming to be a Libertarian? Are you opposed to this legislation? Do you believe UncleBill's slander piece?
