However, it was ALWAYS murder. Many have succumbed to the moral relativism/libertarian nonsense that "it's none of my business what somebody else does." However, if you saw somebody aiming a gun at somebody else and they were about to kill them, to pretend it's none of your business is morally wrong.

Nice try. I have yet to meet a Libertarian that defends the shooting of another on the grounds that it's "none of my business". In fact, just the opposite. So, in your attempt to make a point, you distort the truth. It is true that some(/most) Libertarians hold a pro-choice position. But it's also true that some don't. The latter you have turned a blind eye to.

I am a card-carrying member of the Libertarian party and I am Pro-Life. I can be both because I believe that life starts at conception. For that reason, I believe that an abortion is an assault on the life of another human being. Such acts of aggression I am vehemently against. More to the point, I believe that defending one man from the aggression of another falls squarely within the realm of "my business." That said man has not yet traversed a birth canal is irrelevant.

I never stated that all Libertarians are pro-abortion, I merely (and correctly) stated that many are and unfortunately many Republicans are as well. However, Free Republic is a conservative forum, not a Libertarian or even a Republican forum. And I am aware of few if any genuine conservatives who are pro-abortion.

In my previous comments, I was simply trying to demonstrate that to say that you are "pro-choice" is really no different than saying you are pro-abortion. And I am of the belief that abortion is murder and as such is no different that shooting someone with a gun in cold blood.
