Libertarian’s View on Abortion
I think Harry Browne spoke of libertarians the best, “abortion is a sensitive issue on which reasonable people can differ”(“The Libertarian stand on abortion,”Dec. 21,1998).

If we agree that everybody should be personally responsible for what they do a Christian education might not be a bad start to teach someone to be responsible for the killing of a
