Pro-Life & Progressive | National Catholic Reporter

Pro-Life & Progressive | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Christopher is saluting the Catholic flag - as required by anyone who calls their organization Catholic on January 22nd.  I do like the points he makes about progressive ends and I share them.  As a left-libertarian, however, the whole mechanism of prohibition is still unacceptable - even if you could calculate the number of fetal and maternal deaths under the current scheme and a prohibition scheme and decided to chose the lowest death rate (whetehr adusting the value of the unborn by some factor or not).  I chose option C - much higher income for the unborn, much more support for teens who are pregnant - through College and for both parents and much more acceptance of teen sexuality generally (which is an evolutionarily conditioned imperative).  Of course some libertarians I know, indeed many of them, stand with the rights of the unborn as an absolute - however this is inconsistent without the financial and social reforms.
