Sorry dude, that's not how it went down. Roe v. Wade was originally decided on politics, man.

  Not really. Roe was one of a bunch of decisions of that era making findings of "civil rights". In particular, and libertarians like to forget this part, the core finding is actually based on the fourth amendment, and it says that no matter how firm it may believe the moral argument may be, the government doesn't have the right to decide for someone what medical procedures should be possible within her own body. I genuinely don't understand all the HN libertarians lining up on the site of Government Power here. This is absolutely a libertarian issue. Is it just knee-jerk tribalism? Have you guys all decided you don't really care so much about individual rights? Or is it just that you don't have a uterus and are disinclined to align yourself with those who do?

    Us guys? I'm not a libertarian. Go find a libertarian to argue with. Abortion is murder, life in prison for violators, no exceptions.

    All the libertarians have become nrx tradcath dominionists since ca. 2015, try to keep up.
