Kamala Harris has the propensity to increase government spending and expand the regulatory state more than Donald Trump. Therefore, I will vote for Donald Trump.

Agree… I found their suggestion that a libertarian couldn’t possibly be opposed to abortion a bit presumptuous. It has been and remains a point of contention within the libertarian ideology… “do whatever you want as long as you aren’t harming anyone”… abortion substantially pushes the bounds of that, or at least leaves ample room for debate.

What part of the 11 page federal constitution of "few and defined powers" gives Congress the power to make laws on abortion? To just say Congress has the power to make laws and impose it upon the states is to ignore the Constitution as a meaningful document and abolish the concept of federalism. It's true that the radicals in both sides would prefer to impose their view on everyone everywhere. But this is actually a power play not a reflection of rights anymore than they are willing to wage war on the entire world to impose the same. Separate from the Constitution of limited power there is no right to govern other people and other states. Just a separate from the right to wage war on other nations there is no right to govern people and other nations. You cannot expect to have freedom without law.

So what exactly is Reasons defense of abortion? Nick says its an individual right but what about the second individual? At least the first individual in most cases made a conscience decision to create the 2nd individual. If your argument is that its not an individual, its a clump of cells, then does that mean someone can kill it and they should not be held accountable? When does it become an individual? If you say "at birth" then why isn't "viability out of the womb" not an equally viable answer? If it is, then you must be in favor of an abortion ban at some point. And before someone accuses me of something I'm not, I don't consider myself pro anything. I find the idea of abortion abhorrent but I don't see a viable way to police it. Throwing pregnant woman in jail until they give birth is not an option for obvious reasons. I consider abortion a societal failure that should be addressed via a change in the culture not through the power of the state.

This is a tricky question honestly and I was thinking of it a bit on the way home, and I have some assorted thoughts. One frame could be that the unborn is less of an individual, which makes some intuitive sense to me, especially early term, though it's a rather brutal position. Another that I'm leaning more towards is the idea of parental rights- in variably controversial cases like school choice and gender-affirming care, I think it makes sense to defer to parents, who know their children best, so I would apply the same idea to abortion; a mother likewise knows best the fitness of her household for raising the child etc. That might be called the principaled answer- another might be consequentialist, along the classic lines of Prohibition Doesn't Work; if you want to prevent alcoholism, you don't outlaw alcohol. Abortion is very bad and should never happen, but I don't think outlawing it will make it less frequent or safer.

@@pwhqngl0evzeg7z37 I think when considering parental rights, it must be in the context of parental duty. When parents don't provide basic life-sustaining care to their children, their rights are removed. The issue of abortion is more akin to the parental duty to feed your children, clothe your children, and not kill your children than it is to the parental rights issue of school choice.

Speaking as a Texan, GW Bush was a good governor only in that he wasn't governor very long. For over a century, there was a tradition for people to publicly protest around the block of the Governor's mansion (a few blocks from the state capital). GW ended that, and to this day, state troopers are posted around each corner of the square block of downtown real estate the mansion sits on to prevent protestors from assembling anywhere near the mansion.

@@payleryder45 You're missing the point my friend. This is the sort of thing politicians sign up for when they decide to run and take political office. If they don't want to expose their family to the ugly side of politics, they should do something else. And as I pointed out, 100+ years of Texas governors tolerated it just fine, understanding the principle at stake. It's not like protestors were out there at all hours of the night with bull horns. They were largely just standing around with signs complaining about him during the day. GW didn't like the optics when those protests were on TV, so he put an end to it claiming it was a security problem.
