I don't want to add fuel to a debate over the right to choice either since I'm
certain no one's viewpoint will be swayed, but I would like some clarification.
Are you thanking James for expressing an opinion with which you agree? If that
is the case, how do you reconcile your views with your advocacy of
Libertarianism (CMIIAW-- this is the impression I get from your posts in
another strand of this thread)? Most of what I have heard about Libertarian
views I have picked up from scanning (rather than reading in-depth) posts here
so I could be wrong, but it would seem to me that they, of all people, would
want to keep the government from being able to interfere with a woman's
sovereignty over her own body, as Dave! puts it. Please note that I am not
criticizing your views, just wondering how you come to terms with their
apparent inconsistencies. Or did I misinterpret something?
