Who Really Supports the NO Restrictions At All Position on Abortion?

Libera_me Tue, 09/13/2016 - 21:00

With all the politicians' talk about pro-choice with no restrictions, you'd think that all pro-choice citizens held the same positions. If so you'd be wrong, horribly so. The typical “pro-choice” politician today represents the far-left extreme view of abortion in the country—a view they share with only 13 percent of the country.

13%?!? There is quite a difference between the percentage of voters those who claim the pro-choice position and their 'provocateurs' position! Even pro-choice people don't have a majority who support no restrictions at all, quite the opposite:

While I am not an absolute pacifist, I respect their positions. And a principled pacifist must reject not only all government, but any enforceable legal system, as law enforcement always requires violence. This antinomian position does not oppose laws because they support the activity the law would prohibit, but, rather because of their principled stand against all violence. Note that virtually all principled pacifists would be personally against abortion, because an abortion would require violence against the fetus, but would oppose any form of enforceable law against abortion.

We should also bring up the logical consequences of creating a libertarian legal system, even one endorsing the minimal state. One consequence of having a libertarian society would be that medical professionals would be unlicensed, therefore there would really be no means to even discover that an abortion had taken place, if the mother and her doctor chose to conceal it.

Especially when combined with a no-taxpayer funding for abortion. See my other comment on this thread for some questions relating to it.

...A pregnant woman may at any time - from conception to birth - choose to evict the life she carries AS LONG AS it does not KILL or otherwise HARM the human she evicts.

This means that the life she evicts must be able to survive outside the womb.

Technology keeps getting better and better at keeping a human alive outside the womb.

So whenever a woman chooses to abort a pregnancy, it is perfectly fine as long as it doesn't kill or harm the human life she evicts.

Simple.
Moral.
And it protects the Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness RIGHTS of the unborn.

including Pete Hendrickson. I can't argue with the morality of that. The difficulty arises when you ask questions like:
Who pays for the care needed if a child is viable, but needs intensive care?

What should we do about taxpayer funding for abortuaries like Planned (un)Parenthood?

What penalty should be set for misinformation about the pre-born child?

What about coercion to abort by family, boyfriends/husband, friends and doctors?

As an aside, do you know Gary Johnson's position on this?
