Libertarians should be pro-life: Preborn babies are people

Libertarians are like the lukewarm who are spit out of the mouth of God who will rule the world with a rod of iron, the only way to bring the peace on earth promised at His birth.

I wish I could get a recording of someone spitting and post it.

"Narveson claimed abortion only involves a mother’s right not to have a child, while I argued abortion violates the non-aggression principle (NAP) by killing babies."

This is where the abortion argument should be focused on. It should never be focused on a religious aspect. It's a question of whether the unborn is alive or not. If I believed that the baby was not alive, then I would agree with the abortionists and say that it is up to the mother to decide and the government should not have anything to do with it. However, I believe the evidence is overwhelming that the baby is alive, therefore the government has an obligation to protect that human life. Just as the government does for those of us outside the womb.

"Right wing libertarians support most of the conservative agenda with the main area of difference being marijuana legalization."

For me, I would have no problem if marijuana were legalized. From everything I see, you will only be hurting yourself and in a free society we have to allow people to make those choices. I would draw the line there because most of the harder drugs also harm society such as meth and cocaine where you become a burden on society. However, with marijuana I don't believe you do become a burden to society. It should be highly regulated like alcohol (no one under 18 etc..).

In the end though it's just not that a big of an issue to me either way. I mean, we have serious issues in this country such as the deficit, the 18 trillion of national debt, the rising of Islamo Fascism and creeping of government overreach in our society. This issue is just so far down the list that we really should not even waste the time that is put into discussing it.

I think this applies to your post fairly well.

you can be a social conservative without requiring the law to enforce your beliefs.

You would think so, wouldn't you?
