Heather Johnson on Abortion |
A: Libertarians are split on this issue, but we all agree this is not a government issue, but a social one in which people must help one another directly. Personally, I would encourage women, on my own, to consider adoption, and if after an abortion consider tubal ligation, birth control methods, condoms, and even abstinence. I do not see abortion as a means of birth control as a right. Adults in America currently know quite well, what can happen when they have sex. We learn human development in biology, which does start at conception. The argument of viability only opens the door to marginalizing people with disability, the elderly and small children. As far as cases of saving the life of the mother, rape/incest I support the right to abort.
