I, too, have struggled with Block's Evictionism: Admiring Block's work in advancing An-Cap so much, it is troubling that I must say he is wrong on this issue. He is wrong. <br /> Have you read the following:<br />http://libertarianpapers.org/2010/16-wisniewski-block-on-abortion/<br />http://libertarianpapers.org/2010/32-block-rejoinder-to-wisniewski-on-abortion/<br />http://libertarianpapers.org/2010/37-wisniewski-rejoinder-to-blocks-defense-of-evictionism/<br />http://libertarianpapers.org/2011/4-block-response-to-wisniewski-on-abortion-round-two/<br />http://libertarianpapers.org/2011/6-winiewski-response-to-block-on-abortion-round-three/<br />http://libertarianpapers.org/2011/34-parr-departurism/<br />http://libertarianpapers.org/2011/36-evictionism-is-libertarian-departurism-is-not-critical-comment-on-parr/<br />http://libertarianpapers.org/2011/37-block-response-to-wisniewski-on-abortion/<br /><br /> I have read, I believe, most of the material surrounding WB Evictionism theory and I admire your novel and thoughtful approach.

As I said in both posts, I am only now considering this subject from the angle proposed by Block, so my thinking is evolving.bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-65975725780627067842013-01-02T07:27:57.401-08:002013-01-02T07:27:57.401-08:00Block and Whitehead agree that life begins at conc...Block and Whitehead agree that life begins at conception. <br /><br />If life begins at conception, which I believe to certainly be the case, then it follows that the act of abortion terminates a life.<br /><br />The termination of an life represents the most egregious act anyone can perform, or participate in.<br /><br />It follows, then, that abortion is an act which violates the non aggression principle and is, therefore, decidedly non libertarian in its application and practice. <br /><br />Tortured logic will never change the fact that abortion violates the non aggression principle that is the basis for libertarianism.kirknoreply@blogger.com
