Surely you are not confusing the abortion issue with adult
persons able to practice universal libertarianism. Surely you are
not saying the only thing with the right to continue/live is a
mature libertarian, and that infants do not. Surely you don't
think pro-choice includes "aborting" infants.
[DISCLAIMER]
I know you are not actually taking those positions, but only
stimulating thought. So neither do my questions imply that you
have. And so here are my thoughts, which I am not actually
"arguing" (wink):
A fetus does not have the right to continue/live (when exposed to
a women's right to abort) because of all the good reasons
mentioned here many times: mostly re the lack of basic traits for
a relatively full-functioning animal specimen. An infant has that
right because it HAS those traits, via transformations of
parturition. All other perspectives that question an infant's
right to continue/live are answered by the species identity of
said infant. If I'm still being lazy or inconsistent, please
indicate how with a rewording of your previous comments.

{American jurors have complete Constitutional authority to vote
"not guilty" based on nothing more than a disagreement with the
case, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's instructions.
There is absolutely no obligation to vote "guilty" to arrive at a
unanimous verdict. Get on a jury, stand your ground, and fulfill
its other main purpose: to counteract abusive government and
unjust lawsuits.

I'm saying for one to ass/u/me (vs making the rational case) that
a
live normal human infant is an actual (vs dejure like
corporations
for another example) person (entity able to have rights and
obligations) is spiritually and intellectually lazy, AND
counterproductive to sincere exploration of the universality of
libertarianism.
