“About 80% of what Reagan believed was libertarian.”

No, that only works by giving less weight to the important issues you want to ignore.

Three legs of the stool, Reagan knew each one was as important as the sum total of the other two. Remove any part and you have zero.

fine, make yourself miserable......and continue to cherry pick. The three legged stool, in reality, did NOT have equal weight except in the theoretical sense. As a campaign issue, the leg about freedom and liberty was number one, the leg concerning the Soviet Union and national defense was number 2, and the social conservatism leg was clearly 3.

But more to the point, it doesn’t address the topic at all. First of all, the proper libertarian response to abortion is to protect the “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness” of the unborn child. Yeah, I know many libtards don’t get that, but it is true.
