That's not a gotcha for libertarians because libertarianism has a whole philosophy around the use of violence, which abortion would fall under. That is libertarians do not consider there to be a right to violence except in cases of self defence. Thus it is consistent to be libertarian and not consider abortion rights to be legitimate.
- zzzeek 4y agoare you familiar with a procedure called a DNC ? Have you ever known anyone who had a miscarriage? Are you aware that the DNC procedure is now vaguely illegal in many states and that entire maternity wards and OB/GYN practices are literally leaving states like Texas to avoid accidental liabilities? That mothers undergoing medical emergencies are being forced to writhe in painful, life threatening scenarios for hours, as their baby dies through natural causes in any case, as doctors are now terrified to intervene? Do you know any of this? I think if you are completely ignorant of modern medicine, you should probably sit down before commenting on what "abortion" is and what the actual effect of anti-abortion laws is. sources: https://www.texastribune.org/2022/01/20/rural-hospital-texas-maternity-care-obstetrics/ https://www.texastribune.org/2022/01/20/rural-hospital-texas... https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/16/health/abortion-texas-sepsis/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/16/health/abortion-texas-sepsis/... https://www.npr.org/2023/03/07/1161486096/abortion-texas-lawsuit-women-sue-dobbs https://www.npr.org/2023/03/07/1161486096/abortion-texas-law... etc etc
