A Libertarian case for supporting abortion rights even if you believe that "life

[k-onmmunist]

An unborn child is property. And not all libertarians are pro-life - me, Einzige and Mech for example.

I'm sorry if the rights of a non-intelligent unborn non-aware being matter more to you than a real intelligent human being, Torie.

No need to be sorry, because that is not my point of view actually. In this thread the assumption was that fetuses were human. I have posted before my views regarding fetuses and the continuum of sentience.

Ah.

Ah, I knew you were, I didn't know about SPC though.

I am pro-choice, but I find these "libertarian" arguments for it more despicable than any pro-life argument. Especially this:

An unborn child is property. And not all libertarians are pro-life - me, Einzige and Mech for example.

That's not quite so bad if you don't view a fetus as an "unborn child" (as I don't), but if you actually think that's a full human being and believe in this sort of thing...that's just another horrifying thing about libertarianism.

Bad wording perhaps. But no, a fetus is property of it's mother as long as it remains inside her.
