Undoubtedly the LP would claim that slavery is a State's Rights issue, too, seeing that their constituency is largely enslaved by ideology or vice or ego. Alongside the slave auctions they could hold Rights Exchanges, where rights are bartered and sold on the open market, along with consensual gladiatorial contests to the consensual death for that consensual million dollar prize. And they will try to label all this retro-cruelty: 'human progress.'

No Libertarian would claim that Slavery is a State's Rights issue, because the 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America clearly states:

Pretty cut-and-dried, wouldn't you say? (Or is this the first time you have ever read the 13th Amendment?)

On the other hand, however, MURDER Law definitely is a State's Rights issue, because no Amendment to the Constitution has ever removed the definition and penalization of Murder from the province of the States Legislatures.

So, what exactly are you disputing?

Well, which is it, Jihadist?

Once a Right to Life Amendment is passed then abortion no longer becomes a States Rights issue, whereas the LP would be out front arguing for a repeal of the 13th since it infringes on the 'rights' of people to abrograte their own unalienable rights.
