Last week, Amy Otto posted this interesting post on liberty and abortion at Pocket Full of Liberty. I agree with a great deal of it, but there is a pesky area of disagreement that keeps coming up between libertarians and pro-life activists: namely that legislation is the wrong approach. So I’ve got a response to that over at Misfit Politics. I’d be a Misfit if I were younger and hipper. Instead I’m working on crazy old lady who wears purple polka dot pants and wild hats. (That’s your cue to go read it. I’ll wait.)
Just a little background information on abortion law. Roe v. Wade and its sister case Doe v. Bolton overturned every state law regulating abortion and allowed abortion through all nine months of pregnancy for any reason. Roe set up the standard that abortion must be permitted for “life or health of the mother,” and Doe defined health to be “all factors—physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman’s age—relevant to the wellbeing of the patient.”
Today, most of the reliable stores in the UK proffer all vital sildenafil sales pdxcommercial.com and its online purchasing. Let us explore few of the main reasons of erectile dysfunction. pdxcommercial.com cialis for women There were the close periods in their life when cialis sale usa they suffered unhealthy relationship due to unusual Childhood Lisbeth Salander can be described as a sociopath who did not go through the usual childhood, as she manipulates things for her gain, and does not have any emotions. Some products promise to elevate the level of enjoyment in tadalafil in uk your sex life, and they are so effective that you would not have to rely on modern medications for ED. That was how the law stood, with very little regulation allowed until the 1992 Supreme Court Case Casey v. Planned Parenthood. Now the standard is regulations on abortion must not place an “undue burden” on the mother, and concluded that informed consent and parental involvement laws did not place such a burden. Of course, this is a rather nebulous term and allows for a good deal of judicial interpretation, but it’s better than the Roe and Doe standard.
Most abortion regulations happen in the states but are constrained by the judicial limitations. In light of this, a question to my libertarian friends: what do you think the law should be on abortion?
