A angle I had not considered. Well done.

This is just another way of saying that the child should be punished because of the mother.

No. I think that you just aren't assigning any value to the human life that is in the mother's womb.

It's funny y'all think this when it comes to killing your child but hold the opposite viewpoint when it comes to kids drinking cokes or people smoking cigs. Nothing you clowns stand for is consistent.

Well, there is this group of people who support abortion rights, who think soft drink bans are stupid and who support your right to poison yourself by smoking.

Welcome to libertarianism ... the onlly internally-consistent ideology in the country.

I'm not referring to libertarians and you know that. I hope you're not calling yourself one though because I seem to remember you taking the UK governments side in not allowing the baby to go somewhere else for treatment.

Not exactly. I explained THEIR law and why the action was appropriate under THEIR law. I also explained the use of an ad litem system to protect the rights of minors when there exists a question as to whether the minor’s parent is doing so.

Libertarian ideology does NOT grant parents an absolute right to make decisions which are patently NOT in the best interest of their choldren.

If you really want to discuss this, start a thread. I will play.

Shall we go over the vesting of rights again?

As I recall, you posit that personhood is not your chosen basis, but instead you choose sentience. You've pointed out that brain dead people can be removed from life support, but this argument is specious. Removal of life support has nothing to do with whether or not that person has a right to life, but rather it is a question of informed consent/refusal LINK

No desire to derail/clutter this thread. You seem lonely. Start one, and I will play with you.

The issue wasn't whether or not it complied with their laws. The issue was you taking up for big gov. It's obvious you're just a contrarian anyways though so no need to have the same argument we had a couple months ago. We will never agree on it.

yea I'd hate to derail all of the heady debate about the comedic value of abortion.

Threads take on a life of their own, predictably this one has become yet another abortion thread.

I know there are different flavors of liberterianism but aren't two underlying principles of that philosophy personal autonomy and the non-aggression principle? If so, how do those coincide with the unborn who should have a right to personal autonomy (in terms of living) and not having its life threatened by another person (the mother)?

It seems to me that the only way you can support abortion is to deny that the unborn is a living human being that has certain rights that shouldn't be violated. If so, can you determine when a child actually has these rights bestowed on it and what the basis of your determination is?

As an anti-abortion person, I completely disagree.

This is like saying rape jokes can never be funny. It's false and a completely ridiculous argument.

This is what I'm talking about. Abortion jokes can be funny. This is an example of a bad one.

The reality is, though...and this saddens me to acknowledge it...I just don’t want my children to grow up in this world that we live in today.



Perhaps you should look at it like this: The world that we live in today is in desperate need of children who are raised right.
