MM acknowledges the privacy issue in abortion, but gives the back of her hand to those who (she imagines) pretend that not-wanting-a-kid is the "real" issue.<BR/><BR/>But, Megan, dear, the privacy issue is the SOCIAL aspect of pregnancy/abortion. It's where the political discussion takes place. By definition, it's means to the end of "I don't want this kid."<BR/><BR/>Leave it to a libertarian to think she's trumped an argument by invoking real life, when all along the real life component has been so obvious, and fundamental, that no one else has felt it necessary to mention it.<BR/><BR/>Libertarianism is just one big Aspberger's circle jerk, with graduate degrees, isn't it.Ellis Weinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12288528417668206655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-56319971464357984382008-08-02T23:10:00.000-04:002008-08-02T23:10:00.000-04:00I'm all for policies that increase the number of p...I'm all for policies that increase the number of prostitutes.

The final result would probably be many unwanted foster children, all screwed up & released on society at 18, unless they had already run away from the foster home to prostitute themselves on the streets.

That old tv show made more sense than Megan's post.<BR/><BR/>Let's see, someone's going to pay $10,000 to save a baby that was going to be aborted? Or make abortion illegal and force tax-payers to pay for incubation? For an "economist," Megan doesn't think much about money.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.com
