Excerpt:
The ethical elegance of the libertarian argument was voiced before in this space:
However much one disdains abortion, one can’t get away from the matter of self-ownership. You simply have no right to take custody of an adult’s body. An adult woman, however loathsome, either owns herself and everything inside her or doesn’t. You can’t “own” yourself with the exception of your uterus or in conjunction with other busybodies.
Thus, theoretically, “Women have the right to screw and scrape out their insides to their heart’s content.” With a proviso: Americans who oppose abortion must be similarly respected in their rights of self-ownership. Taxpayers who oppose the procedure ought to have an equal right to dispense of what is theirs—their property—in accordance with the dictates of their conscience.
Trojans, Trivora or termination: An American woman has the right to purchase contraception, abortifacients and abortions, provided … she pays for them. For like herself, America is packed with many other sovereign individuals, some of whom do not approve of these products and procedures.
So, while adult women ought to be able to terminate their pregnancies—always to the exclusion of late-term infanticide—what America’s manifestly silly sex does not have the right to do is to rope conscientious objectors into supplying them with or paying for their reproductive choices. The rights of self-ownership and freedom of conscience ought to apply on both sides of the abortion debate.
Late-term abortion, generally, must always be outlawed. (I realize, dear reader, that I owe you argument, not assertion, which, alas, is what I’ve provided.) One could argue that, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the deciding case brought before the SCOTUS, did concern late-term abortion, with the state of Mississippi banning abortion after 15 weeks, pursuant to which, “The Jackson clinic and one of its doctors sued Mississippi officials in federal court, saying the state’s law was unconstitutional. A federal district court and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the clinic, blocking Mississippi’s law. But the state appealed to the Supreme Court, which put the case on its docket.” …

Abelard Lindsey writes: “This article makes clear that conservatives can be as off in la-la land as the liberal-left.”
Writes @Lisalazuli on GETTR: “@ILANAMercer, “You tackled the abortion issue very bravely, this is the most sane [sic] opinion I’ve heard.”
Jay Fink: 'My impression is @Unz is the only place you find conservatives who see the benefits of #abortion. The rest of the conservative internet is anti-abortion without any critical thinking.. #MainstreamConservatives [think] babies stay babies foreverhttps://t.co/epj929Cdqh

My perfectly straitlaced column comment: "A medal to the man who gets on top of such putrid flesh for his jollies.”
Funny reader comment: "A girl after my heart. All the makings of a prolific author of erotic novels." ? https://t.co/Pha4JPGoO6 #DoddsVJackson

Repeal the 14th amendment. Repeal the 17th amendment. Repeal the 19th amendment. Abolish the “reforms” of the 1960’s, including “The Great Society”.
Yes to repealing the Incorporation-Doctrine ( https://www.ilanamercer.com/2018/05/whodunit-who-meddled-with-our-american-democracy-part-2/ ), yes to restoring states’ rights, yes to denying females the vote: In 2005, I said I’d give up my vote, if all women were denied theirs. Yes, yes, yes.
