Tom Bagwell, went on to say babies in the womb are essentially violently aggressive trespassers and that there is no less forceful way to remove them than abortion, which is often a brutal murder. He also said age does not matter in consent, age of consent laws are arbitrary, and that consent can be denied at any time by a parent supporting a child.He misrepresented the Non Aggression Principle (NAP). Babies in the womb are not aggressors: if a baby's conception, in an act of sexual reproduction, was violent and due to a rapist's aggression, the baby is not guilty of that aggression. A baby born by natural sexual reproduction is not a trespasser, he or she is an innocent human in her developmental stage's only natural habitat.He misrepresented informed consent, and made it seem that pedophilia is consistent with libertarian ideas, since he believes age of consent laws are arbitrary. Sorry age does matter in consent, because informed consent is required and young people cannot be totally informed of potential power and abuse dynamics involved in sexual relationships until at least 18. The only grace I give is to couples where both members are close to 18 and within 2 years age from one another.He ignored self responsibility entirely.What is his goal? To justify abortion, to justify pedophilia, or to delegitimize libertarian thinking by ignoring most of it, falsely representing NAP and taking that false representation, which ignores the other principles of libertarianism, to absurd conclusions?#Abortion #NonAggressionPrinciple #NAP
