FeedsReplying to a comment on Ron Paul and Civil Liberties
I strongly disagree that that would be the greatest civil liberty. There are any number of other civil liberties without which that one would really only secure a woman's choice of whether or not to bring another person into living without much liberty.
Would the choice to not have a baby who would also not enjoy any right against arbitrary imprisonment REALLY be the "greatest"?
Furthermore, and I've been down this road many times before and thus know that it won't be discussed without red herrings and strawmen galore, granting half the population a significantly larger choice over whether to procreate or not is no more just than granting the part of the population with white skin more rights than those without. And yes, I am familiar with Roe v. Wade. It is NOT predicated upon sovereignty over one's body. That is a supporting argument thrown in by Chief Justice Blackmun, but it's far from his pivotal argument in favor of granting the right of abortion.
