Fair points. Also, when I last heard from him, he was a pro-choicer. Must have changed that in the past few months as well.

this is one of those topics the parties massacre.

Pro-Life personally vs Pro-Life Government control

Does the government have the right to ban this outright no exceptions? and are there times where it would be a considered action?

The solution doesn't lie within the law of this topic. It lies with prevention. You can't abort a baby if one was never made in the first place. The only reason the government aggravates this issue is the money factor.

The libertarian stance is commonly: I can be pro-life but the government cant legislate on this.

  1. It depends on where and how you define life. My stance is when the helix winding begins, that's not just a clump of tissue but a wholy unique individual definition and prime cause. In not too many words, it's life in its earliest stages.
  2. Libertarians debate on this as liberty should not encroach on others' rights to life. Whereupon creating a third entity, you shall not infringe upon their life with your liberty. Where it gets tricky is cases of maternal health...
  3. The government doesn't have any business supporting infanticide or ending the life of innocents. This is a farce created by eugenicists like Sanger who wanted to abolish 'poor undesirable' breeders. The attitude prevails today.

I don't agree with the premise. It's not a "timeline" thing. It's a value thing. Where does value of life come from?

It's either a theism vs non-theism premise.

Planned Parenthood gets tons of gov. kickbacks.
