Entry: Libertarianism's Divergent Roads Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/libertarianisms_divergent_roads#29405 Post contents: mcbrown: "Your worship of RP blinds you to the truth that his “platform” was not Libertarian and is at odds with basic Libertarian tenets. For example, Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided, because aboriton is an issue that should reside with the states. The Federal government should have no role in it. RP being pro-life is at odds with that, unless he takes the position that his “pro-life stance was personal, to him,and that his opposition to the decision was based on the States’ rights issue." Where have you seen otherwise? I have never heard him say a word about wanting to ban abortion at the fed level. And another thing, there is some dissent that pro-choice is the 'correct' position to take. (Rothbard, while always himself pro choice, did not think the pro lifers were 'wrong' per se, but that it boiled down to a difference of opinion.) Sent at: 2008 12 02
