Wanted: Some intellectual consistency on abortion

Libertarians and the Left have long advocated for keeping morals out of politics. But when it comes to abortion, that position just doesn’t hold up.

The abortion debate is very different now from what it once was. It has been advanced recently by the appointment of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, New York’s unrestricted full-term abortion law, infanticidal remarks by Virginia’s governor and attempts in Richmond to enshrine abortion as a right up to the very moment of birth.
