Ep. 33 A politically incorrect discussion about Abortion, Pro choice, Murder, and what is life.

The Mindcrime Liberty Show discusses abortion. We open up by pointing out that one of the world’s biggest boogieman especially according to the Left, as well as normie libertarians and conservatives, Richard Spencer, is pro choice for extremely politically incorrect reasons. It’s worth pointing out according to the CDC that in states that report by race/ethnicity whites and blacks both have roughly equal total numbers of abortions yet blacks only represent about 13 percent of the population. A large portion of this debate hinges on what exactly that thing is or isn’t. If it is merely a toothache or cow (animal rights activists aside) then we should kill it, trade it, experiment with it, sell it, or whatever one wants to do with “it.” If it’s a person then we should treat it as a person. One of the reasons why Tim is skeptical of the pro-life movement is the fact that much of the pro-life movement (including the pro-life woman who debated Walter Block) will disavow the “punish the mothers and doctors” position. Trump had a Freudian slip a while back and of course all the moderate Christians as well as the Left totally disavowed this viewpoint. I know prison abolitionists movement and crime is merely a social construction viewpoints exist but most people, in particular the Left/Left liberals/politically correct libertarian, think that school shooters should be punished. Effectively they are the same actions from an entity viewpoint (killing children). Swithun lays out what he describes as the anti-murder position quite effectively and its implications. We also discuss that pragmatically by allowing more free choices in particular when it comes to healthcare it would eliminate much of the supply. In a possible Ancapistan situation one could imagine that “Gary North Inc” will compete with “Margarat Sanger Inc.” for the right to control that entity. No solutions just tradeoff but its worth pointing out that depending on one's worldview things can be both features and bugs.  If your for the right for woman to choose that is a feature (and vice versa).  Ancapistan might allow for both in theory for better or worse.
