A kid can't live by itself without a mother after birth too... does that give her the right to execute it?
Would you rather her use a coat hanger in a "black market" abortion clinic?
I'm sorry... but the government can not condone abortions... coat hanger or clinic.
It's like drugs.
You can try -- but you won't stop it from happening.
Which brings me to another Libertarian point:
Legalize drugs -- Institutionalize them in sterile, organized, and safer houses. Tax the (&$(&^$ out of it. I'm talking a 140% tax. This would still keep the price of gov't ran drugs under steet value, save the gov't manpower and time, and make an enormous profit w/ which the gov't can revive the economy and make tax cuts across the board.

Well of course you can't stop it from happening... you can limit it... and you can punish the morons who choose to break the law. You CAN NOT condone it.
That about drugs would be horrible. People would never buy drugs legally and it would be impossible to enforce.

They wouldn't buy drugs legally? Ever been to Amsterdam where it's legal?
The drop in price of drugs would be tremendous. No more people trying to kill themselves smuggling. Normal U.S. customs could check for drugs not sanctioned by the gov't and confiscate those not approved and organized. Also, it would be safer. No longer would people die of OD-ing and/or getting bad drugs. The quality of the drug and it's doseage would be vastly improved. And all so Uncle Sam can get a buck, and we can stop giving him so many of our own.

They don't tax the weed 140% in Amsterdam, either. At least according to my Norweigan friend... he said it's quite cheap.
If you don't think the illegal drug dealers would keep undercutting your prices... your crazy! They will make the money... whether it means assassinating some politicians or not... think about it... these ruthless drug dealers will lose their sole income... you think they'll be happy? Ah ah.

These "ruthless" drug dealers would be gainfully employed to collect the drugs from sources at home and abroad for sale by Uncle Sam. It would work on a Commission system. You bring in this much, you get x% of that.

Would you like to have "high" marines fighting for you? Or even defending the country?

Ask yourself, "What did a fetus ever do for me?"
However, I'm all for the government stepping in and legislating all issues of morality. Too much masturbation and use of single-ply toilet paper in this country. It jist taint right!

They wouldn't be bringing in anywhere NEAR the dough they do now.
Think about it on a sliding scale...
You want to lower the price of drugs to undercut the drug dealers... so... what you're saying is that the drug dealers will still make the money they used to... but they will have to undercut your prices... but still make the same $ they used to... at the same time... its bringing in billions for the economy... sorry but that logic is terribly flawed.

Post of the year??? LMFAO! No offense to MUther, but that is a tired old cliche of a joke. But, it does help explain your world view.

that was why I said "of course"
the initial post was the cliche I just finished it.
You can't offend me. Pi$$ me off, occasionally, but not offend.
