Libertarians for Life
Libertarians for Life (LFL, L4L) is a nonsectarian group expressing an opposition to abortion within the context of libertarianism. Based in Wheaton, Maryland, Libertarians for Life believes abortion is not a right, but "a wrong under justice".
Views
To explain and defend its stance on abortion, Libertarians for Life argues that: None of the arguments are based upon religious belief, and are intended to appeal equally to atheists and theists. This is a point of pride for the group, claiming to rely on science and reason, while both anti-abortion allies and abortion rights opponents use what they view as non-scientific or unreasoned arguments.
Activities
Doris Gordon founded Libertarians for Life in 1976 "because some libertarian had to blow the whistle." In 1988, the Libertarians for Life unsuccessfully attempted to change the Libertarian Party position on abortion, so it would be similar to the party's 1988 presidential nominee, Ron Paul.
