I may believe abortion should remain legal (at least pre-viability). But make donations, when I can, to organizations like this.

To: Celtjew Libertarian

I certainly respect you for supporting pregnancy aid centers. I do have a couple of questions for you, if you don't mind, especially relating to the fact that you describe yourself as a libertarian:

(1) If I understand you correctly, you support legalized abortion until viability. "Viability" is not a measure of the humanity or moral worthiness of the conceived child; rather, it is a measure of the efficiency of the child's support systems, both maternal and technological.

That being the case, how is it just to deprive the conceived child of his life, without due process, not as a punishment for any crime he committed, but only because of the inadequacy of his support systems?

(2) Do you believe there is such a thing as "parental responsibility"? Does it exist for male as well as female parents? If so, when, how, and why does it arise in the case of the father of the child?

I am sincerely interested in your answers.
