- Actually, based on a persons assumptions/beliefs and on what libertarians
- believe the role of government is, there is a very convincing (and
- logical) argument that leads one to conclude that a libertarian must
- be anti-abortion/pro-life (in some cases).
-
- Because of the emotion that this issue invokes (and the tons of
- postings that are generated were everyone talks but no one listens), I
- will not outline the reasons here. However, if anyone is truly
- interested I will discuss it via email.
-
- Also I want to point out that libertarians do not believe in no
- government. Government does has a role, even if it is somewhat
- limited.

- P.S. I feel I should point out my bias. I am not libertarian. But
- I do understand many of their ideas (and I agree with quite a
- few of them to).
