https://youtu.be/kAy14b8yX7k On one occasion in the 1960s when abortion was still illegal, I witnessed, while visiting a surgical suite as an OB/GYN resident, the abortion of a fetus that weighed approximately two pounds.

by Keith Knight | May 2, 2022 | Don't Tread on Anyone

https://youtu.be/3UxdR0MRArY The Libertarian’s basic attitude toward war must ... be: it is legitimate to use violence against criminals in defense of one’s rights of person and property; it is completely impermissible to violate the rights of other innocent people.
