Description
Summary:	A special issue containing several articles written to present the case against abortion as perceived by the organisation Libertarians for Life. Asserts that a significant minority of libertarians is pro-life, and explains how this attitude fits in with the basic premise of libertarianism, being that severe limits should be placed on governmental action. Includes articles on pro-life and liberty, scientific 'myths' surrounding abortion, parental obligation, abortion in the case of pregnancy due to rape and the enforceability of fetal rights.
