Would you support a proabortion candidate if the were for partial birth abortion, etc?

Would you support a candidate that was good on every other issue but supported abortions all the way up to hours before term. Believed the world was over populated and used his office to encourage more abortions at all levels? Also believed that adult child sex was between them and people should stay the fuck out of their business including the parents. You know kind of like a lot of libertarian candidates believe.

Yes, although I have to say that the idea of "encouraging" abortions is kinda disgusting. I would prefer a "non-interventionist" in this case. But I would still support him if he is good on everything else.

Which translates into I can kill if I feel like it.

Yeah, pretty much. Its a subtle way of writing pro-choice into the platform.

'now'? Obama has written fewer EOs than most recent presidents. FDR set the precedent 80 years ago, not something I'd refer to as 'now'.

Yep.

At this point, O has written about 1/2 the number of EOs as Reagan.

You know, the only person I've ever heard advocate for legalization of children having sex was Mary Ruwart. I hope she never gains traction if for no other reason than to avoid the whole "Libertarians support child abuse" tirade that would inevitably be launched by the MSM. There might be someone who agrees with Ruwart, but I think that's a minority.

Children who willingly participate in sexual acts have the right to make that decision as well, even if it's distasteful to us personally. Some children will make poor choices just as some adults do in smoking and drinking to excess. When we outlaw child pornography, the prices paid for child performers rise, increasing the incentives for parents to use children against their will. - Mary Ruwart

I agree 100%

OK, comparing CHILDREN having sex with ADULTS smoking or drinking to excess is just stupid. I like Mary Ruwart, but I hope she never runs for office because its going to lead to people being like "OMG libertarians want to legalize child porn" and then that's going to destroy the movement.

"(My) presidential candidate believed in the right to have sex with children"

Idiocy. Meanwhile, you're still unable to list any of the many libertarian candidates that you profess believe the garbage you wrote in your original post.

It is in the OP.

I'm pretty sure we're already being accused of that.

and I do want to legalize child porn so it's a fair accusation. I don't think a 16 year old who sends a naked picture is doing anything wrong.

Now having sex with a child who can't give informed consent is a completely different manner.

Yeah, you obviously believe Mary Ruwart advocates having sex with kids, so why waste my time. Then you've extrapolated that into stating that "a lot of libertarian candidates" believe that. Who has time for that stupidity? Good luck.

There are a few ultra specific cases where I would fully offer support for a Post Birth Abortion. Boehner and Holder are on that list.

A woman intent on destroying the fetus is going to achieve precisely that end, methodology be damned. The application of law to what can just as easily be achieved through more indirect means is befitting only to sadistic Authoritarians that think forcefully manipulating the behavior of pregnant women via the threat of punishment is a good idea. Good luck telling intentional destruction of a fetus from unintentional when necessity becomes the mother of invention and the market finds another cunning way to kill off a fetus. Are you Statists ready to file manslaughter charges for miscarriages that may be intentional just so you can rest easy at night? The best solution to abortion already exists - the market. Those that think the State should be involved here are tyrants with noble intentions. Nothing more, nothing less.

No, I would not vote for Barack Obama.
