What about drug use? How can you logically justify opposing drug use but not abortion? The libertarians, (which I'm not), are at least smart enough to know you have to be for legalizing both.

How so? One act involves physical harm only to one's self, while the other involves harm to another life.

What about it? I'm only trying to show that one can't logically support laws against stock swindles while at the same time opposing laws against abortion. Both acts are contrary to the moral order.

Indeed, you can't consistently support drug use and oppose abortion. Both acts assume it's O.K. to say "yes" to appetite and indulge certain passions. I'm opposed to both drug use and abortion. I support laws that prohibit and punish both.
