Giddy Libertarian Rep. Ron Paul...

(Who is reliably anti abortion as any dues paying member of the College of Cardinals) has teamed up with Barney Frank to decriminalize marijuana at the Federal level.

The message here is you can get high and the Federales shall not mess with you, but if you are carrying Arnold Schwarzenegger's demon seed abortion is not an option.
So if Ron Paul were to spy a healthy young pregnant woman toking up in full exercise of her rights, well, I guess his head would explode.
this is my problem with libertarianism in miniature, they all draw line over what constitutes legitimate grounds for state action. But those lines are drawn by personal prejudice, opportunism, greed, foolishness, whimsy, utopianism you name it.
"Arbitrary and capricious" are the two words I'd use to describe libertarianism...Which is exactly why Ron Paul (the Cicero of US Libertarianism) can propose a law decriminalizing marijuana at the same time remaining a stalwart police presence in the wombs of women all over the country.
