Abstract Outlines the Libertarian framework of rights and obligations in abortion. Argues that abortion is homicide based upon the scientific and philosophic evidence available and disputes further points believed by abortion proponents.
AbstractList Briefly reviews the formation of Libertarians for Life in 1976 as a movement within the Libertarian Party designed to oppose the use of state power in support of policies or principles that cannot be defended as being acts of defense against aggressors (as abortion cannot). Nonaggression is viewed as both an inalienable right & an obligation in a moral society. Rather than being a "victimless" crime against only the pregnant woman herself, abortion is argued to be an act of homicide, & must be treated as any other such act of killing by the law. This contention is supported with arguments drawn from biology & philosophy, highlighting the issue of fetal personhood. K. Hyatt

Outlines the Libertarian framework of rights and obligations in abortion. Argues that abortion is homicide based upon the scientific and philosophic evidence available and disputes further points believed by abortion proponents.
Abortion proponents equate unwanted pregnancy with involuntary servitude and slavery, often framing their arguments with pro-choice and other libertarian-sounding rights talk. After all, libertarians support the right to control one's own body, and since 1974 the Libertarian Party's platform has unconditionally supported abortion choice until birth. Many libertarians, however, find abortion to be contrary to libertarian principles and goals. Abortion choicers often talk as if abortion is something a pregnant woman does only to herself, as if abortion were a victim less-crime debate. But the charge against abortion is that abortion is homicide, the killing of one human being, or person, by another. Libertarians support the right to privacy. But homicide, the killing of one human being by another, is not a private matter. It is not a simple matter of choice. Is prenatal homicide defensible on the level of rights? Only if childhood dependency is a capital offense against innocent parents, or if parents have an unalienable right to abandon their children and let them die.
