Delaware becomes 1st state to officially outlaw spanking

[tod evans]

It was ironic. Plus my arguments are steeped in researching definitions, that's how we know what we're talking about on a philosophical and legal level. So to get some crazy hypothetical from someone who refuses to click a link on NAP makes me finally....

I suppose if there are several personalities bouncing around inside one head that could justify speaking in the plural.

Instead of offering hypothetical scenarios how about I make it simple, try out your philosophy in the real world instead of a protected environment.

I can assure you the ideas you profess, like seeking to legislate parent/child dynamics won't float here in the sticks and some poor tired mother of several kids will violate your NAP all to hell if you try.

I agree, but is that your citation?



Glad to hear. I agree with you, but this position conflicts with Rothbard's. So we agree that Rothbard was wrong on applying the NAP to abortion "rights" of the mother?

It doesn't contradict Rothbard. Block's evictionism is fleshing out Rothbard's stance on property rights and self-ownership and applying it to abortion:

The proper groundwork for analysis of abortion is in every man’s absolute right of self-ownership. This implies immediately that every woman has the absolute right to her own body, that she has absolute dominion over her body and everything within it. This includes the fetus. Most fetuses are in the mother’s womb because the mother consents to this situation, but the fetus is there by the mother’s freely-granted consent. But should the mother decide that she does not want the fetus there any longer, then the fetus becomes a parasitic “invader” of her person, and the mother has the perfect right to expel this invader from her domain. Abortion should be looked upon, not as “murder” of a living person, but as the expulsion of an unwanted invader from the mother’s body.

That is the genesis of evictionism.

What utter horseshit, fucking mental gymnastics to justify matricide.

Go back and re-read the posts. I asked if libertarian doctrine prohibits abortion and silverhandorder said, "Yes." The position that libertarian doctrine prohibits abortion conflicts with Rothbard's position which allows it. No?

You mean infanticide.

You mean infanticide.

You are correct. ( I'm a bit goofy with some kind of bug, excuses, excuses)

This is the first arrest in the state of Delaware under the new child-abuse statute that took effect in October.

The home is a block away from where my inlaws live and I drive by there almost weekly. It's amazing to consider what we don't know that is happening right under our noses.. Cannot believe that people are the way they are sometimes. The mom apparently "home schooled" the minor so there was really no way to know what was happening.

Actually, she didn't home school it sounds like. Seems that it was just an excuse for the child to not be in school. Regardless of that, the kid is lucky to get away. He ate for four hours straight once he had the opportunity to get some nourishment.

I might be wrong, but I am guessing that they would have been arrested under the old law too.

Sure they would have been. This was right next door to a school, btw. Not that it matters but is just a weird irony.
