Julie Borowski Shoots Down Tomi Lahren: Pro-Life Libertarians Aren't Hypocrites

"It is not hypocritical for limited government people to be legally pro-life," Borowski declared. "We do not advocate for a society where people can do whatever they want."

In her classic sarcastic style, the YouTube star mocked the view that libertarians have to support an anarchic society without any limits on human freedom. "Murder, theft, rape, go for it, liberty!" The libertarian response to this would be "No, these things would still be illegal for good reason."

Borowski laid out the non-aggression principle: the key question is "is there a victim? With abortion, pro-life people would say yes there is a victim — the fetus. Therefore, it's not hypocritical to call for laws against abortion." She scathingly added, "To suggest otherwise means that you either think the fetus is not a victim, or you fundamentally misunderstand the concept of liberty." Ouch.

"The victim is still in another person's body, but he or she is still a human being with the right to life — that's in the Constitution," the YouTube star explained. "It's only hypocritical to call for government bans when there are no victims. Drugs and prostitution — I personally don't like those things, I think they're disgusting. But people have the liberty to put whatever they want and do God knows what to their own bodies."
 

"It is not hypocritical for limited government people to be legally pro-life," Borowski declared. "We do not advocate for a society where people can do whatever they want."

"

Jesus, with that escape clause, a person could call himself a Libertarian practically no matter what he believes.
 
Whatever else a Libertarian is, he's a member of a party that will never have national prominence and power.

It is intuitively obvious to even the most casual of observers that your phony rejection of hypocrits is in and of itself hypocritical.

Why not, that would yield parity with "Conservatives" and "Liberals" alike.
