    Of the involved parties, the dad, the baby, the neighbor, and the mother, the only party the Libertarian Party supports having a Choice is the mother. That's not because they believe in Choice, but because they believing in the utility of killing babies.

    They want the dad forced to finance choice of the mother . They want, course, to force the baby to die. They want to force the neighbor, such as a Catholic organization, to supply birth control and abortions.

    Your party basically allows one to sin as they please, as its my own preference and conviction, so stop judging me and enforcing law!

    If the Bill of Rights does not presume the right to life, then it is mere words and no one is safe. If securing the blessings of liberty does not embrace the right to life foremost, it is sham, for who can enjoy the blessings of liberty if their very life is denied them?

    It is unreasonable and uncsonscionable to interpret the Consitution to say to the innocent you have these rights and blessings of liberty, but not the right to live to enjoy them.

    ‘Now, take thou thy pound of flesh, Shylock, but not one drop of blood.’

    Do you want the United States to be a theocracy? And, if so, based on the rules of which denomination?

    Do you want sin of fornication to be illegal? And, if so, what should be the penalty?

    The fascist and libertine LP party supports the laws that make it illegal for people to say "no" to fornication.

    The closest America has to a libertarian party is the Constitution Party which wants to whittle the federal government down to its constitutionally legitimate size.

    Why don't you stop attacking me, and make your case for the LP party being a party of liberty? If it is, you should have such an easy time, but instead you're flopping around like a fish out of water.

    I've pointed out the oppressive tone of their platform and the declaration of their last presidential candidate that religious freedom is like allowing murder.

    Shoostie: you've enumerated your problems with the LP's platform. However, I fear you need to produce the "murder" quote verbatim. IOW, you need to foot note your claim.
    FYI, years ago, I was at a Friends of the NRA meeting wide they had an LP activist speak. Til then I occasionally voted LP. He turned me off with his pro-choice rhetoric.

    incorrect - IT is the Supreme court decision that keeps the govt out of the abortion issue.

    From the 7/28/2016 Washington Examiner
    I mean under the guise of religious freedom, anybody can do anything. ... Why shouldn't somebody be able to shoot somebody else because their freedom of religion says that God has spoken to them and that they can shoot somebody dead. ... I just see religious freedom, as a category, as just being a black hole.

    I read the article (it's an op-ed interview). On the whole his stance on religious freedom is scary.

    Do you desire us to be free to sin against God and His law all of the time, was that not what got Isreal in trouble big time?

    I don't think you understand Libertarianism correctly. Yes it's amoral that's the point. It removes morality from politics and just lets people do what they want. Now culturally that should not be allowed but legally absolutely.
