What about the Jewish position on abortion??

Conception happens when a sperm and egg become one. So how can a sperm alone create life? It can't. So your thoughts about masterbation and contraception are irrelevant. They prevent life but do not murder it. Big difference. I shall have to continue this for another time...i gots to work.

What is the RLC's position on abortion?

RLC FAQ -> Republican Liberty Caucus Frequently Asked Questi...
Neutral. We have both pro-lifers to pro-choicers, and in between. As far as libertarian groups go, you'll find that we are probably the most "tolerant" of the pro-life viewpoint. Our immediate past chairman, Cong. Ron Paul (R-TX, 14th Dist.) is very pro-life. Many other members are pro-choice. As libertarians, we oppose Federal funding of abortion under any circumstances. It is not a litmus test, and it is not an issue that is often debated internally.
