    No surprise, libertarians always believe that government should keep their nose out of people's business.

    There is a difference between letting people decide for themselves and being pre-abortion like Obama.

    So, we should do away with laws about murder? Let people decide for themselves if it is OK to kill someone?

    Murder is a state charge.

    Right now the federal abortion laws are the rule. Most libertarians would return the issue to the states. I seem to think this guy would just leave Roe v Wade alone.

    One thing a true libertarian would ever do is want a federal law covering abortion, either for or against.

    If his goal is to leave the federal abortion laws intact, i don't see him siphoning off many republican votes.

    I'm actually under 40, and while I loved my booze in my rebel days the drugs were not that big of a deal. Most of the libertarians I know are well educated professionals and Christian. :flower::smilewinkgrin:

    Yeah, really. That is what you just said. "People can kill there children if they want to. Let them decide for themselves."

    Personally, I think the Justice system should stop people from killing their children, and punish those who do.

    Please, such knee jerk (and dishonest) reactions are beneath you.

    There is no "Christian" agreement about the origin and timing of the soul. Personally, I think God creates a new soul for each new person at birth.

    How else are we supposed to take your statement of "There is a difference between letting people decide for themselves and being pre-abortion like Obama."?

    Do you think it is OK for people to decide for themselves whether to abort a child or not?

    There is certainly BIBLICAL agreement! The Bible is unequivocal about life beginning at conception.

    Nothing knee jerk or dishonest about that statement. You just said that people should be able to decide for themselves whether they should kill their kids or not. That is what you SAID; YOU are being dishonest.

    I wish people would tell the truth about abortion...people who are for abortion are really racist since the majority of abortions performed in the US, about 4000 per day, are on blacks. It's called the black genocide. You would think the Al Sharptons, Jesse Jacksons, etc. would cry out against it since it is primarily against their own race. Just another example of how the left is hypocritcal.

    Libertarians mainly just want the govt to butt out, which is how a lot of people feel who don't call themselves libertarian.

    Drawing conclusions like this isn't helping anything. It's really stupid to try and say that all people who are pro-abortion are racists.

    The facts back it up. The majority of babies aborted are black. Haven't you ever read about Margaret Sanger who started Planned Parenthood? She was a promoter of eugenics, to purify the races......

    Anyway, read up on it, matt. Back on topic......
