The NY Times , the National Organization of Women, et al, are in Steubenville, Ohio demanding that the powers-that-be prosecute, to the max, high schools football players and all other individuals who tacitly approved the unlawful appropriation of Jane Doe' body, her property , without her consent. Fair enough.
Libertarians adamantly believe that we have a right to life and to defend the same. Thomas Jefferson correctly stated in the Declaration Of Independence that :
We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
So , I agree that consent is an intrinsic element of our Constitutional jurisprudence.
But , why is the consent principle ignored when the welfare/warfare state demands that I support foreign wars, Obama hellcare, Medicaid, medicare, Feinstein' disarmament, ad nauseum.
Inquiring minds want to know.
