Tucker Carlson: You oppose abortion why?
Because as someone who believes in liberalism, I’ll say libertarian liberal, because in English, the word “liberal” means something different… So let me say, as a libertarian, we believe that liberalism entails the unrestricted respect for the lives of others, rooted in a principle of non-aggression, and the defensive life, liberty, and property. And if we cleave to these ideas of liberty, one of the most fundamental aspects is to defend the right to life.
Philosophically speaking, I'm in favor of the right to life.
Beyond that there is a scientific justification to be had. It is the fact that life begins at conception. It's at that very instant that a new being begins to evolve. With its own unique DNA. While it's true that women have a right to their own bodies the child in a woman's womb is not her body. That makes abortion a murder, enabled and aggravated by a power imbalance against a child that has no way to defend itself. And beyond that there is a matter of mathematics. Life is a continuum with two quantum leaps: birth and death. Any interruption in the interim is murder.-Argentine 2023 Presidential Candidate Javier Milei.
To that we add a pertinent Scripture from the Law of Moses:
22 "If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman's husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
23 "But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life,
24 "eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
25 "burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
(Exod. 21:22-25 NKJ)
That is powerful apologetic.
