Peikoff on Abortion Rights
I thought this would be interesting to discuss.
My opinion is that we do not have the right to legislate complicated moral issues. Do you own your body?

2. aborting is not killing. just because I cut off support is not equal to killing
3. if I kill in war or self defense, not murder? you're willing to pick off a liberal if they look at you funny :)
I have previously posted ARs views on this subject. just because human life has value, does not mean you have to support it. I would further my argument, there should not be a law that you have to support your kids. Reality is the wealthier a society is, the more value human life has and the more willing people are to take on obligation. ex: I have a baby where starvation is certain , does someone else die for my baby?
But, the horror of having it there compares in some cases to what the pregnant person. Put yourself in the bodies of the women who were gang raped in India. Do you really think they have anything but revulsion and abhorrence for what will be a constant reminder of the brutality and inhuman behaviour of the pigs that did that to them? I would not only have an abortion, but a hysterectomy after that.
