Publisher: Harvard University Press Year: 2012 Reviewed by David Gordon Click for PDF or Kindle version ABSTRACT: This present paper is part four in a debate Sean Parr and I are having on abortion. Part one consisted of Parr, 2011. Part two consisted of Block, 2011A. Part three consisted of Parr, 2013. In my view, the proper libertarian position on abortion is neither pro-life nor pro-choice. Rather, ‘evictionism’, where the mother of a fetus has a right to evict it from her womb, in the gentlest manner possible (that is, to preserve its life during the process of eviction if at all possible), but not to kill it. As I see matters, Parr (2011, 2013) interprets “in the gentlest manner possible” so radically as to claim that the fetus may only be evicted if it is viable outside the womb; that is to say, he maintains that libertarianism is consistent, only, with the pro-life position. My claim is that this constitutes a radical misconstrual of libertarianism

[Download PDF or Kindle version] 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.

ABSTRACT: The fourth estate function may be better served by journalists not trying in vain to force a discussion of the facts. Instead, they should get inside the political spin, unravel it, and deliver the unscrambled egg to their audience. It would be as if the journalist had a bug inside the private strategy room, which facilitates making the public a participant in the campaign narrative strategy formulation, as against being a mere recipient of the polished product. Eavesdropping may be illegal, but a Sherlock-Holmes-style deductive ‘Watergate’ is laudable.

ABSTRACT: Rather than attempting to find some way to make a centralized, taxpayer-funded system work in a less offensive and less costly manner we should be examining how to remove government altogether from the delivery of health care services. Real and effective reform of medical practice involves a return to genuine markets where consumers are able to choose who to consult from the full range of possible providers at a price set in markets. AUTHOR: Brian Bedkober is a medical doctor who has served as the National President of the Private Doctors of Australia, which started in 1968 as a disgruntled break-away group from within the Australian Medical Association. The organisation took umbrage at the AMA’s readiness to negotiate with government on matters that were considered beyond the proper scope of government control. [Download PDF or see Scribd version.
