ABSTRACT: I will make the case that the departurist view corresponds to libertarian legal theory in a way that Walter Block’s evictionist theory on abortion does not. By allowing for an unwanted fetus to continue and complete its departure from its mother’s womb, departurism is a manner gentler than would be its eviction from the womb. The departurist theory therefore satisfactorily adheres to the libertarian axiom of gentleness and imposes no positive obligation on the part of the mother in so doing.
