I’m very familiar with classical liberalism. That’s the political tradition that I draw from. The founding fathers aren’t some infallible source of wisdom and their actions often deviated from the ideals of liberty.
Rights are moral claims are they not? You claim in your original post that abortion is a moral grey area, which I would agreee with, and that the state should therefore regulate it through legislation. This would imply that the state or rather the politicians and bureaucrats that make it up, is a moral authority. Where does this moral authority come from? How does a group of people who are more inclined to psychopathy, pathological lying, thievery, and other kinds of immoral behavior, compared to the general population, attain the status of moral authority?
