You picked a bad example with abortion because of the complexity of the issue and the fact that from a certain point of view a life is involved. Given the libertarian view on secession, you have to admit that libertarians have a similar view on the solution as you do. Pity the liberals and progressives will not accept such a solution. Ironically, the red necks would be perfectly happy with your solution. There lies the difference between the red necks and the left.
A life is at stake either way due to if it is banned a woman who is desperate to have the abortion will find other methods like underground methods or knitting needle. I am sure you are aware how dangerous that is. It is just what will happen unfortunately. Cannot stop that. But can make it safer methods and even preventative methods.
Either way a life is at risk. So I do not think it was a bad example. As for culturally concerned conservatives being happy with the solution I will have to believe that to see it. One on one basis too. Aaaanyway time for kiwis to hop to bed. Will be back in a few hours to see how this conversation has progressed. Interesting topic.
This is why libertarians on the whole tend not to want to impose a solution from above the way liberals and progressives do. With the degree of centralization that exists in the US there is a tendency to use the Federal Government as a club to beat opponents over the head with. You haven't really spent much time around the red necks in the US and the mainstream media is less than reliable.
