BEING PRO-LIFE IS NECESSARY TO DEFEND LIBERTY

by Ron Paul, M.D. (Paul, an obstetrician, was the Libertarian Party
candidate for President in 1988 and served as a member of Congress, R-TX)

Pro-life libertarians have a vital task to perform: to persuade the many
abortion-supporting libertarians of the contradiction between abortion and
individual liberty; and, to sever the mistaken connection in many minds
between individual freedom and the "right" to extinguish individual life.

Libertarians have a moral vision of a society that is just, because
individuals are free. This vision is the only reason for libertarianism to
exist. It offers an alternative to the forms of political thought that
uphold the power of the State, or of persons within a society, to violate
the freedom of others. If it loses that vision, then libertarianism becomes
merely another ideology who policies are oppressive, rather than liberating.

We expect most people to be inconsistent, because the beliefs are founded on
false principles or on principles that are not clearly stated or understood.
They cannot apply their beliefs consistently without contradictions becoming
glaringly apparent. Thus, there are both liberals and conservatives who
support conscription of young people, the redistribution of wealth, and the
power of the majority to impose its will on the individual.

Libertarian's support for abortion is not merely a minor misapplication of
principle, as if one held an incorrect belief about the Austrian theory of
the business cycle. The issue of abortion is fundamental, and therefore an
incorrect view of the issue strikes the very foundations of all beliefs.

Libertarians believe, along with the Founding fathers, that every individual
has inalienable rights, among which are the rights to life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness. neither the State, nor any other person, can violate
those rights without committing an injustice. But, just as important as
power claimed by the State to decide WHAT rights we have, is the power to
decide WHICH of us has rights.

Today, we are seeing a piecemeal destruction of individual freedom. And in
abortion, the statistics have found a most effective method of obliterating
freedom: obliterating the individual. Abortion on demand is the ultimate
State tyranny; the State simply declares that certain classes of human
beings are not persons and therefore not entitled to the protection of the
law. The State protects the "right" of some people to kill others, just as
courts protected the "property rights" of slave masters in their slaves.
Moreover, by this method the State achieves a goal common to all
totalitarian regimes: it sets us against each other, so that our energies
are spent in the struggle between State-created classes, rather than in
freeing all individuals from the State.

The more one strives for the consistent application of an incorrect
principle, the more horrendous the results. Thus, a wrong-headed libertarian
is potentially very dangerous. Libertarians who act on a wrong premise seem
to be too often willing to accept the inhuman conclusions of the argument,
rather than question their premises.

[Some] support the "right" of a woman to remove an unwanted child from her
body (i.e. her property) by killing and then expelling him or her.
Therefore, they have consistently concluded that any property owner has the
right to kill anyone on their property, for any reason. Such conclusions
should make libertarians question the premises from which they are drawn.

We must promote a consistent vision of liberty because freedom is whole and
cannot be alienated, although it can be abridged by the unjust action of the
State or those who are powerful enough to obtain their own demands. Our
lives, also, are a whole from the beginning at fertilization until death. To
deny any part of liberty, or to deny liberty to any particular class of
individuals, diminishes the freedom of all. For libertarians to support such
an abridgment of the right to live free is unconscionable.

A*hem*. I voted for him in 1988 -- because while he openly admitted to
being pro-life, he also made no bones about it being his personal
opinion, NOT part of the LP's platform.

To be truthful, she's pushing the envelope in terms of volume, and she's
definitely not winning any friends by doing nothing but reposting
garbage from pro-life websites -- and "editing" it to suit whatever
purpose she has in mind...so she's cutting it close with MindSpring's

<SARCASM>
The mistaken connection between the right to
control of one's own body and the right to
individual freedom.

Your libertarian friend has an uphill battle
to convince libertarians that attitudes
anathema to their political movement, such
as those held by the anti-abortion movement,
should be held instead of personal freedom
and the right to own one's own body!

> If it loses that vision, then libertarianism

So when libertarianism embraces the oppressive
ideals of forcing women to continue to term
and forcing women to give up control over their
own bodies, it will become more liberating?

Give it up! Your ideals are anathema to the
libertarians! Anti-abortion desires MORE
GOVERNMENT CONTROL, ESPECIALLY of the INDIVIDUAL,
and this is AGAINST everything a libertarian
stands for!

> We expect most people to be inconsistent,

Ron Paul is being inconsistent, holding that
increased government control over the individual
is something which all anti-government control
libertarians should embrace!

<SARCASM>

Yes, Ron Paul, your contradictions are
glaringly apparent.

Especially the anti-abortion folks, liberals
and conservatives alike, who desire the power
of government to impose its will on the people
through denying individuals their individual
freedoms.

Whoops, that would make Ron Paul in opposition
to libertarianism.

> Libertarian's support for abortion is not

No, it is not a "misapplication" of any theory,
it is a major application of the theory,
"Less government control over the individual."

> The issue of abortion is fundamental, and

> strikes the very foundations of all beliefs.

And libertarians have to believe in less
government control, otherwise they aren't
libertarians.

Ron Paul believes in MORE government control
of the individual, hence he must not really
be a libertarian!

Of course, it is important to note that no
Constitutional article or amendment codifies
those rights into law. Those words are
taken from a document superseded by the
U.S. Constitution.

> But, just as important as power claimed

And when the State decides that women don't
have the rights to control their own bodies,
it is a time for all libertarians to stand up
and fight for a woman's right to control her
own body.

> Today, we are seeing a piecemeal destruction

Yes, by the folks who are consistently anti-abortion,
the GOP. Increased police powers, decreased civil
rights, all coming from the same folks who want
to make abortion illegal.

Its being consistent, of course, since a mind which
wants to deny individual freedom to the extent that
an anti-abortion mind wants to deny individual
freedom, is a mind which wants more government
control over the individual, not less.

> And in abortion, the statistics have found

Forgetting of course that the WOMAN is an *individual*.

> Abortion on demand is the ultimate State

Banned abortion is the ultimate State tyranny:
the state simply declares that women in general
are not entitled to control over their own
bodies.

> The State protects the "right" of some
> people to kill others, just as courts
> protected the "property rights" of

The State protects the right of women to control
their own bodies. The State, in the past, made
an error in protecting the "property rights"
of slaves who were not directly endangering the
lives of their masters, thus the analogy doesn't
work.

The actual goal of all totalitarian regimes has
been the acquisition of control over reproduction,
allowing it to force women to continue to pregnancy
or deny others the right to be pregnant.

Check out all totalitarian regimes in the past
600 years for proof that what happens in a
totalitarian regime is what the anti-abortion
folks are PUSHING FOR, not the opposite!

Ron Paul is attempting to argue against history
and against the totalitarian regimes of today by
trying to suggest that a totalitarian regime does
not attempt to gain the kind of control the
anti-abortion movement is DEMANDING.

> The more one strives for the consistent
> application of an incorrect principle,
> the more horrendous the results.

Hence, the horrendous conditions and civil
rights of women caught in a society which
BANS ABORTION.

And so libertarians must oppose Ron Paul, since
the inhuman conclusion of his argument is
spelled out daily in Taliban Afghanistan, and
Ron Paul seems unwilling to question his premises.

Such conclusions are the strawmen of the
anti-abortion movement!

A "guest" on your property who proceeds
to endanger your life and health can be
shot by any libertarian out there today.
If you invite someone in and he proceeds
to pump nerve gas into your home and
threatens you with a gun, any libertarian
would agree that you have the RIGHT to
kill him if it is the ONLY WAY to avoid
his threats to your health and/or life!

Similarly, all fetuses are dangerous and
threatening to pregnant women, for the simple
reason that they have to suppress the immune
systems of the pregnant women they exist
within, in order to keep the pregnant woman's
own body from REJECTING the fetus! This
suppression extends to making her body ripe
for opportunistic infections.

Clearly, for the same reasons that a guest
who turns on you and threatens your health
and life can be repelled using lethal force,
a fetus which is threatening a pregnant woman's
health and life can be expelled using lethal
force.

It is interesting that in order for the anti-abortion
movement to make their "shooting a guest" strawman
to work, they must first deny the FACT that the fetus
is not an "invited guest", but a "guest which had to
drill through a steel door to get in, then promptly
threatened the life and health of the host upon
entry". They must DENY FACTS to make their little
strawman work!

Any movement which must use LIES AND DECEPTION to
make its arguments is not a good cause!

> We must promote a consistent vision of liberty

...such as when the State denies women the right
to protect their own bodies against an intruder
which threatens her life and health.

...such as the violent anti-abortion wackos who
have thrown down legal means and picked up rifles
to assassinate abortion doctors.

And somewhere in the middle a woman has the
unalienable right to control over her own body,
and NO PERSON should have the right to FORCE
her to give up control over her own body.

...such as to WOMEN.

For libertarians to oppose a woman's right to
control over her own body, and to enforce said
opposition by INCREASED GOVERNMENT CONTROL OVER
THE INDIVIDUAL, is unconscionable.

You are in the wrong newsgroup. This is talk.abortion (which is about
zygotes, embryos and fetuses) and not talk.infanticide.

BTW, babies are those who are *not* connected via an umbilical cord to
a woman. Easy to distinguish, aren't they ?

Who are you to demand that anyone take your babbling as truth, without
question?

When you get around to providing substantive proof of this alleged
permission you have to speak for your god, you may be deserving of a
little civility. Until then, you get the respect you earn...and so far,
you've earned none from me.

Clue #1 - He appointed lots of us as His spokesman.

Clue #2 - He needs no successor because He is eternal, omnipotent, omniscient,

Abortion is not, nor has it ever been, murder.
A fetus is not a baby.
And I have no interest in being an MDiety anyway.

Oh, the same God who told Moses it was OK to kill Midianite
male children and pregnant women? The same God who gave
the instructions for a forced abortion against the will of
the woman in Numbers 5? If that is your def of love, compasssion,

Shove it up your ass with a cattle prod.
WE KILL MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN EVERY DAY.
By commission or omission. WE DON'T TAKE CARE OF THE PEOPLE
HERE ALREADY. Only an insane sadist would force gestation
and then walk away. You are sick, and if you really do think
you are xian, you aren't. Case closed.

Now get some mental health care before you are forced to.

No, it is true because of the source. The Bible is the inerrant, inspired word of

You commit the familiar equivocation between "human"[adjective] and "a
human"[noun] (which, BTW, is only possible in English; other languages
make clearer distinctions between nouns and adjective).

It is trivially true that a human embryo is human; but so is a human
toe, a human blood cell, a human tumour and a HeLa cell culture. Do you
maintain that all of them are "forever sacred" ?

Obviously humanity in the sense of "being human[adjective]" doesn't
imply anything about a right to life.

> artificial means must therefor be described as murder .

The willful destruction of a human tumor obviously isn't murder.
Try again, this time with "a human" .....

Don't confuse the potential for the actual. Rights are usually not

particularly since it's hard to find any semblance of reason in an
alleged deity choosing a complete idiot to speak for him.

You're not getting anywhere, Chris.

the right to life is recognized in the U.S. Constitution and the
Declaration of Independence. It is understood to apply to and refer
to human persons who are citizens of this nation. That a
developing life is included in this protection is plain in that
it is, though as yet unborn , residing within the borders of this
nation. That anything is sacred is a matter of faith and the
concept of sacredness is contained within the document of the
Declaration of Independence where the founders are recorded to pledge
mutually their lives, fortunes and sacred honour to each other.

that there currently exist in many cases no legal prohibitions
against abortion does not alter the effectual nature of the act.
It artificially( by the deliberate , action of another )
terminates the growth process which is the natural functioning of
the creature. The developing life is guilty of no capital
crime punishable by death under United States law which is the only
case where a person may be deprived of thier God given right to
Life.

that a human embryo can be described as potential with regard
to the attainment of humanity and therin gaining legal stature
with the concommitent rights ,I would assert is a false
characterization . Because if allowed to proceed without
interruption( by abortion) it would continue to display the
unmistakeable qualities of a human being and no other life form
which may or may not be accorded same or similar rights.

Whew! Are you this stupid in real life? The US Constitution
explicitely says that a citizen is BORN in the US or naturalized.
It does not now nor did it 200 years ago include fetuses.

Merely residing in the US does not grant one US citizenship.

Well, that's clear as mud. You do realize that a foetus
is attached to a woman; it's far from clear that it's
"complete". It is human, though -- but then, so is one's
toes, hair, eyeballs, skin, blood, or phlegm. None of these
can be equated to a being, human or otherwise, unless one's mind
has been totally bent by watching too many late night movies. :-) [*]

The law currently doesn't see it that way. Are you really
willing to have young women put to death?

Or just doctors?

What's the difference in penalties between hiring a hit man,
and being one? As far as I can tell, little, if any;
California law allows the death penalty as an option if the
murder is carried out for financial gain -- and an abortion
provider does get paid $200-$400 or so, by somebody.

I'm not confused at all; I know exactly what you want to show. I just
state that you are misusing terms, confusing "human organism", "human
fetus", "human being" etc.

BTW, how can a moral or legal evaluation ever be a "fact" ?

EXCEPT for the fact theat abortion has absolutely NOTHING to do
with murder. Abortion is merely a highly-beneficial REMEDY for an
unwanted medical condition. And that's ALL it is. It isn't even a
"moral" issue, except in the minds of malcontented and malicious
control freaks.

Except for the fact that when you kill a developing child in the womb, you
kill the complete organism. The life is snuffed out. By removing a toe,
skin cell, etc, you are not killing the complete organism and in some cases,
the lost part is regenerated (i.e. skin cells, etc.)

Hey! We actually agree on something! Now then, since you agree it's a

The right to life is a concept by moral people who believe in the sanctity

Many doctors find that act as something that "should" be illegal.
Especially after performing it. The fact that it is not yet is beside the
point. Law makers are too fickle to use them as a guide for morality.

I personally believe that spam email should be made illegal, too. The fact
that it isn't yet, again, is beside the point. However, even the spammer
has a right to life (I guess... =))

> How would you define 'artificial means'?

Some babies die because of birth defects, SIDS, etc. This is in the natural
order of life. However, invading someone's uterus with a scapel with the
express intent of killing the youngun is very unnatural and barbaric.

Although not an official document of law, the Declairation of Independance
is still very useful in that it tells us of the intentions and motivations
of the Founding Fathers.

In this we see that their intent was to form a nation where:
1) Everyone had the right to freedom of expression.
2) Everyone had the right to freedom of religion.
3) Everyone had the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Being the stanch humanitarians that they were, I would say that they would
feel the same way about the unborn.

HUH? I've been reading cases and constitutional annotations for close to a year
and have found no such thing. In fact, it is the Federalist Papers that is
cited as the motive and intent of those individuals. There actual musings, not
some distorted interpretation from this century.

You do know that happiness wasn't even intended -- it was more poetic than
saying property.

Sigh. You know, Tim, this gets rather tiring rather quick. Prochoice
did *not* agree that it was a human being; and trying to get someone
to agree with you when you *LIE* about what they believe and write is
rather futile.

So why do it? Why do you lie? Is it to make some sort of brownie
points with someone? Do you feel smart and tricky by telling lies? I
can understand opposition to abortion and I would support a just
abortion ban -- but I cannot understand why Pro-Lifers constantly lie.

So what?

A human fetus is not a human being.
There is no right to life,
and we don't take care of the HUMASN BEINGS already here.
To support forced gestation while people are being killed
by omission or comission is insane, obscene, and misogynisitic.

So fucking what? REAL HUMAN BEINGS are killed off and neglected
to die in the streets of the richest country ever.
As long as HUMAN BEINGS are so treated, to insist that
a fetus has the "right" to harm a woman against her will
just shows you are completely, utterly, and undeniably insane.

There are two problems with this argument.

1. If it is an individual (and not just "individual human life"; the
law protects persons, not "lives"), we should be able to separate it
from the mother.

2. Monozygous twins, triplets etc. ? AFAIK, even after 3 cell divisions
(resulting in 8 cells), each daughter cells will produce a whole
organism on its own.

Where, precisely? I can't find any mention of it in the Constitution,
and the Declaration doesn't exactly have any legal force -- since it's
not an outline of the structure of the government, doesn't specify any
laws, or make any other decrees. It's a statement of why the Founders
had decided to make their break with England -- nothing more, nothing less.

Then, you should have no problem in pointing out *precisely* where that
"developing life" is specifically protected, right? Too bad for you
that you're so abysmally ignorant that you can't even make that claim
right...you might want to check the little detail about being BORN (or
naturalized), as far as citizenship goes.

Probably not.

Because unlike most Anti-Choicers, the Founding Fathers were
highly INTELLIGENT.

And intelligence, combined with humanitarianism, translates into
NOT mindlessly and maliciously seeking to TRASH the rights of
already-born people by the millions, WRECK their well-being in the
process, and DESTROY countless of their potential future
opportunities.

The scripture contained in Bible declares as Gods word ,he who
would find God must first believe that He is and is the rewarder of
them that dilligently seek Him. I do not controll God. When He shows
Himself to you ,you will know Him .I pray This may be at any time.

It is a fact insofar as to declare it to be so accords with observable
reality. That is to say if abortion,meaning the deliberate termination of
an otherwise viable,developing human fetus,is murder ,our laws must be
modified to reflect that"fact" and treat the perpetrators in accordance
with the laws pertaining to the criminality of murder. And be assured
this is my aim.When acceptable,
unimpeachable,unassailable,irrefutable,durable language can be adopted ,I
,myself will not cease acting to have it introduced into the Federal
statutes . That means i will continually press the U.S. Congress to
outlaw abortion and prosecute them who perform them.

Let me try to clarify. In response to your statement that the
constituiton doesn't include fetuses. I answered that it does not
preclude them either so in as much as when we are discussing a real
living fetus and not merely the concept or potential , we must
include them( the fetus) under the protections guarenteed Citizens.

i have acknoleded that the Dof I is as you've said in other postings
and therein have called it a precursor to the constitution which was
adopted as the source of all legal power and authority in the
United States of America. The same men who signed the Dof I ratified
the Constitution.it would be irrational to construe any meaning in
the one document would have been contradicted in the latter .

If we find in the Constituiton no specific language regarding the staus
of fetuses we may assume there was no question at the time of its
writing as to their legal standing. I would assert life in the womb
at all stages was accepted as fully endowed with the same liberties
and rights they declared have all citizens of the United States . the
distiction between born and preborn , I further assert, is a
feature of modern worldly society comprised of cruel shallow selfish
impatient people who wil sooner kill a defenseless innocent life
than be the least bit inconvienienced by the nurturing of their own
offspring!

Thats youre only argument ? That you refuse to apply the word'
person' to the life in the womb? therefor you allow that life to be
terminated? what are you saying? we 're not talking about dogs and
cats when we refer to developing lives .Do you honestly expect
anyone to accept that you reject the right of the human mothers
gestating offspring( i bet you'll balk at my usage of that word too,
since it can be construed to imply a born child) to the protection of
its life while in the womb because it is not legally recognized as
a person?? Why don't you say what term you accept to indicate
the developing fetus inutero and give a reason why it should not be
protected under the same laws which protect born human beings.

if you are equating your bodies blood with the fetus in a womans
uterusand claiming therein that they both belong to the
individal. it may be demaonstrated false in that the DNA of baby
, oh excuse me,fetus and mother are not identical and so the mother
cannot claim ownership over the babyand so has not the right to act
toward it in any way which would violate its freedom to live on.

You've swatted no one down. sincew you seem to be saying you
know what the Constitution does say ill leave it for you to show me
where it doesnt recognize the right to life or declare the taking
of innocent life unlawfull wich is effectually the same . Also if
you wish to adress me by my name desist in deriding my character
with derrogetory terms .I feel no affinity or affecton toward you . I
consider your virulent hatred of the defense of innocent unborn life
as detestable and contemptable and if this were medievil Britain I
would seek you out and split your rotten skull with my broadsword and
feed your stinking entrails to my hounds !!!

abortion is a grave evil and needs to be considered criminal
for the purposes of righteousness, without which no country can abide
. I'll take grammar classes when the supreme court recognises
human fetuses are persons guarenteed protection by law.
