Many Democrats want to pick my pocket to help "the disadvantaged". Many Republicans want to do it to help corporations... ...There are those who claim to be libertarians who are pro-choice, holding it a woman's inalienable right to determine what happens to her own body. AND there are those who claim to be libertarians who are anti-abortion, holding the life and rights of the fetus trumps all other claims. On the first issue neither increasing social spending nor increasing "corporate welfare" is libertarian. As for abortion both the pro-choice and the pro-life position are compatable with libertarianism in my opinion. If the fetus is not considered a human life with rights then laws against abortion can not be justified from a libertarian perspective. If the fetus is considered a living human with rights then laws against killing it would be no more anti-libertarian then laws against killing you or me. As I see it it all comes down to how you see the fetus, and different people, including different libertarians, see the status of the fetus differently. Tim
