[ He opines the classic libertarian position that abortion is a state issue and should be returned to the States — i.e., that Roe v. Wade was wrong, which would be a huge win at the federal level. ]

What would you rather have?

Supreme court stamping all over states rights via Roe v. Wade.

States decide the abortion issue themselves.

I would rather have the 2nd option.

I'd be willing to bet that if an Amendment to the Constitution was made banning prophylactic abortion, Gary wouldn't have much problem with it.

Most libertarians are pretty "letter of the law" when it comes to the Constitution. Roe V Wade needs to go on this aspect alone.

My personal philosophy is that if it's human, killing it is murder. Regardless if it is still in someones uterus. I've brought a couple of quasi-pro-choice libertarians around by logic alone.

As for our military playing Globo-cop and Nation building... Since when has that EVER been their mandate?

End ALL entitlement and revamp welfare... Illegals would stop coming here to scam off the system. Also a very libertarian thing to do.

Meh... Normally Coach gets it right... This time? Not so much.

“I would rather have the 2nd option.”

I concur, but once you get to the state level, he’s pro-abortion.

Ironically, he’s LESS harmful as he goes up in power.

He was a CHEAP dude, which I appreciated.
