Against abortion? Don't have one


This is an actual bumper sticker. You can buy one at Amazon.com

It has a certain libertarian appeal. And there are libertarians who support the legality of abortion on libertarian grounds.

Mind you, one could just as well oppose abortion on libertarian grounds. After all, this justification is only appealing to libertarian adults, not libertarian babies.

But many abortion advocates are the polar opposite of libertarians. Many abortion advocates are social engineers. They believe in banning actives they disapprove of. Do they apply their logic to other issues? Try these slogans:

Against assault rifles? Don't buy one

Against whale hunting? Don't kill one

Against animal testing? Don't test one

Against meat? Don't eat it

We could easily extend the list:

Against segregation? Don't segregate

Against genocide? Don't do it

Against date rape? Don't do it

Against child prostitution? Don't do it

Against trophy hunting? Don't hunt

And so on and so forth.
