Better off on a fence than way out in left field
What kind of screwed up logic are you smoking that makes you take my personal feelings about abortion and turn that into forced enslavement of women?
I have never once said that I favor forcing women to have birth, just stated my own personal opinions. I have, if you should care to read all my posts, in fact said that I have stood up for women's rights. But it is not a comfortable thing given the consequences that I for one do not sweep under the table with sterile terms like fetus and zygote or equating a developing human with a tumor.
I am not at all comfortable with the idea of forcing a woman to do anything with her body, but I am quite comfortable with exercising my right to voice an opinion no matter how you may wish to misconstrue that opinion or attribute more to it than I have ever stated.
What is it that you do not understand about the concept of a woman having control of her own body also meaning she could exercise that control before engaging in sex so that the elements that lead to the formation of a human embryo would not be introduced into her body while unprotected? Does the right to have control somehow equate to the right to be irresponsible for you? We are each responsible for our own bodies and our own actions, and we are also each responsible for the consequences of what we do with our actions and bodies.
Women have the right to engage in consensual sex if they want. But if they choose to do so without precautions and protections, they also have the responsibility for the consequences of how they choose to exercise their right.
Regarding amnsesty, are you really so out of touch with reality that you think that it would be sane or even possible for the United States to try to round up 20 million people and kick them out of the country. The only workable solution that would not be an incredible fiasco or worse would be to make them either legally apply for citizenship and become citizens in order to work or have benefits or else find themselves with no work or benefits. Do that and tighten the borders to further illegal immigration, stop our imperial warmongering and eliminate the IRS and our country can survive and flourish again.
Yep, libertarians are independent thinkers. Thanks for stating my case.
