GOP Rep.: ‘There are Better Ways to Protect the Health of Women Than by Killing Their Children’ | CNSNews.com

(CNSNews.com) – Responding to critics who claim proposed legislation to outlaw abortions at 20 weeks or later in the District of Columbia is an attack on women’s reproductive rights, Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) said Wednesday that abortion was not about women’s health.

“The bottom line is, there are better ways to protect the health of women than by killing their children for them,” Franks, the bill’s author, told CNSNews.com.

Being Pro-Life is Necessary to Defend Liberty

Ron Paul in 1981:

Pro-life libertarians have a vital task to perform: to persuade the many abortion-supporting libertarians of the contradiction between abortion and individual liberty; and, to sever the mistaken connection in many minds between individual freedom and the "right" to extinguish individual life.
Libertarians have a moral vision of a society that is just, because individuals are free. This vision is the only reason for libertarianism to exist. It offers an alternative to the forms of political thought that uphold the power of the State, or of persons within a society, to violate the freedom of others. If it loses that vision, then libertarianism becomes merely another ideology whose policies are oppressive, rather than liberating.

Black Conservatives Blast Liberal Policies

I ran into this video accidentally. I didn't type "black conservatives" in the search engine, or even "Al Sharpton" as the title of the video may suggest. I found it here.

Anyway...

This young lady took a stand for what she believed in: rights for the unborn (which is not, she argues, absurd). She also believes that Democrats are responsible for the destruction of the black community for many years. It was just yesterday when I was thinking about the topic of African-Americans and their virtual allegiance to the Democratic Party--and especially Barack Obama.

Yes, assuming what the woman said is true, how is it that the conditions of black folk aren't any better off than before, even after all these years of being run by Democrats?

How come before the New Deal in the 1930's and the arrival of the Welfare State black folk were better off financially?

By the way...

...if you think that libertarianism necessitates a commitment to the pro-choice position (the Ayn Rand types) think again. There are those who believe that protection of the unborn is philosophically consistent with libertarianism. And no, they aren't all Christians either.
