What if the \u2018Fetus\u2019 Could Shoot Back<\/a>?\u201d. The insane libertarians labor to underscore the fact that libertarian ideology, untethered from natural law and revelation, is one of the crazier and more inhuman philosophies the human mind has devised. It\u2019s a philosophy for people with no children and, in Randian purity, is a chemical soup for manufacturing enemies of God every bit as evil as Stalin. Only the evil is privatized, not harnessed to armies and police state systems to kill millions in gulags. But as our abortion industry demonstrates, we Western individualists are quite capable of using private enterprise to achieve similar ends without all that fuss about mass graves, gas chambers, and round the clock executions. Same butchery, nicer aesthetics. And that is, after all, what\u2019s most important, isn\u2019t it? Feeling good instead of actually *being* good?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"tries to reason with insane libertarians on the question of abortion with the provocatively titled post \u201cWhat if the \u2018Fetus\u2019 Could Shoot Back?\u201d.
