Back in the day I made an argument on this forum that abortion was wrong the same way it was wrong to drive a bum (or was it a hitchiker?) to your home to spend the night, then wake him up in the middle of the night and throw him out in the rain. That was kind of my thing, and where I was going with this thread (the new human life is indeed as much as snatched from non-existence and placed in the womb by the woman herself, whether she acted for this purpose or not). However, I hadn’t considered the implication for the abortion issue of me having since been swayed by Rothbard’s arguments on the issue of voluntary slavery, ie the thing where an actor can not be made to shoot movies he had promised to a studio he would, because that is just a broken promise. So in fact throwing the bum out in the rain makes you a total jerk, but not an aggressor. So if I am intellectually honest I must admit it’s the same thing with throwing out the baby from the womb. So actually I no longer have a single argument to make as to why Block’s evictionism can not stand. (Though ironically what disarms me is a point Block wouldn’t agree on.)
