MYOB, Abortion edition
The foundation for the right of mothers to abort: MYOB. Mind Your Own (Goddamn) Business.
The only acceptable justice is retributive justice. Unless you're the fetus, you haven't been harmed by abortion and have no leg(al interest) to stand in court.
The only acceptable police is to repel a threat. You are not being threatened by abortion, unless your own mother wants to retroactively abort you.
If someone is to represent the fetus-the mother is next of kin and so far its only relationship. Any damages the mother may have to pay will be paid to herself. Any police intervention is for her to call or call off. Any punishment deserved is for her to enforce or amnesty.
Arguably, if a fetus is already viable, and the father agrees to cover the extra costs (including but not limited to medical procedures), he may be entitled to keeping it after it's been evicted from the unwilling mother's body.
Certainly, if the woman is married or otherwise in a contractual relationship in which she agreed to carry the child-she may have to pay damages for breaking an agreement. But unless you're the husband or other contracting party, this has nothing to do with you.
If the mother was part of your abortion-prohibiting church, you may indeed excommunicate her for her sin. Otherwise her religious choices are none of your business.
Is the fetus human? Of course it is. Does it have rights? None for which you have any standing to speak in its name-name that it doesn't even possess absent the mother's consent.
Is abortion "murder", thus justifying the intervention of Government? My, Government is the greatest of all murderers, by far, and shall especially not be allowed to intervene. Instead, it should be disbanded, all its officers tried, and many of them, probably, executed. Leaving no one to intervene. There are no magical angels "above" society who may speak for a nebulous "collective" that somehow has "authority" upon the mother and the fetus.
Even without a monopoly Government to speak in the name of The Collective, could non-monopoly enforcement agencies somehow speak in the name of the fetus? No one may anoint any "representative" for anyone else than themselves individually, so no one may claim to "represent" the fetus. There are only regular citizens who may or may not have a standing in any given case-in this case, none having standing except for the mother herself.
That's as far as the (Natural, Libertarian) Law speaks.
Now, is abortion morally the better-or less bad-option to pick in any given case, or ever? You're entitled to your own opinion. I certainly have opinions, weak or strong, in many cases. But in each case, the moral decision is ultimately the mother's moral burden to carry and not yours.
You may of course practice ostracism towards those you deem repulsive. Psychopathic wanton child-killers will no doubt find themselves banned from polite and even most of impolite society. But be careful what criteria you choose-or fail to choose-to apply regarding whom to mingle with or shun-for the circle of those with whom you do or don't surround yourself will be both your reward and your punishment.
