Talk:Libertarian perspectives on abortion

message: I reworded the final paragraph which used to state:
:While the abortion issue fiercely divides the American mainstream, pro-life and pro-choice libertarians are not so vehemently separated. Like anarchists and minarchists, they have much more in common than they have dividing them.
This is POV, so the paragraph was reworded more neutrally.  Some libertarians do view the issue as an absolute, fundamental dividing line between "true" libertarians and others, regardless of side (pro- or anti-abortion rights). - Korpios 18:34, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Final paragraph re: dividing libertarians 

message: This section states:
:It holds that abortion should be legal but neither state-funded or required because "the government should be kept out of the question".
Nowhere it the cited link to the platform is it stated that the USLP holds that abortion should be legal; the lack of a definite statement saying "abortion should be legal" is actually quite conspicuous in its absence.
The statement is presumably an inference from the claim that "the government should be kept out of the question," but the position is (perhaps intentionally?) vague on whether that means anything more than the state not funding or mandating abortions.  
In addition, I'm no authority, but I believe that:
:In this, its position is quite similar to that of another institution claiming the support of natural law: the Catholic Church, which allows abortions for medical reasons and sanctions misdeeds only through excommunication
is likely a misleading description of Church policy. --Jfpbookworm 18:23, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Say what you will about the Catholic Church as an "institution," but She does not support abortion for "medical reasons." The Catholic Church is against abortion. In case you didn't notice the period, I repeat, PERIOD.
While She does recognize that a mother who finds herself in an unplanned or medically difficult pregnancy has varying levels of diminished capacity to be morally culpable for the abortion (boyfriend/husband/family pressure, doctors' unwillingness to follow the Hipocratic oath), the fact remains that the Catholic Church teaches that abortion is a grave sin, even if done for "medical reasons." By the way, my personal response to those who use the excuse of medical necessity to exonerate abortion comes down to two words: second opinion. Mattsteady 16:06, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Obviously wikipedia has chosen to deal with [[libertarianism] the way it does.  The question is, are there other libertarian movements - socialist, left, whatever - that have issues or are they all just pro-choice? If so, create a section.  If there is controversy, more reason to do so. I have higher priorities than correct the article besides what I added about the pro-choice libertarian group in the past.  But I would note that the current article gives the impression American pro-property or whatever you want to call the libertarians are more pro-life than they are.
