Vacc-Insanity | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: The problem with the libertarian ideal, the Pledge, is that no one can force anyone else to do anything - it is considered impermissible violence to collect taxes - as if we can live on Dine and Dash public finance. As for owning your children - Paul is pro-life, but he does not get that owning your children means abortion must be permitted by that line of thought. Of course, the Democratic libertarians reject any coercion on abortion. If they could get the GOP to give on the tax angle, we might work something else, although I seriously doubt it.
Going back to vaccines, until Jenny McCarthy made this her cause, there was little traction. Go figure. Of course, having her and Jim Carey as parents will make any child autistic. I suspect it comes from having parents who are too smart so that the brain can't cope with its own abilities - just a thought.
Now, on Benedict and Francis, I suspect St. Thomas Aquinas might object to their view of ideas being less important, considering his Aristotelian worldview.
Finally, there are many kinds of libertarians. There are the social ones (who we now are smoking weed - to say otherwise is ignorant), the geo-libertarians or georgists, the economic libertarians who like von Mises or Laffer and libertarian socialists, which are essentially separatists who bring all economic and governmental functions into the community - and they woulf vaccinate and provide enough funding to families that abortion is not economically necessary.
