"Here we have a libertarian principle, which could trample me. I mean, abortions, by your definition, are not victimless crimes. But, whose liberty should we protect? Hers or its? The actuality or the potentiality? Plus, a society that isn't ready to work on the factors that cause unwanted pregnancies doesn't deserve to ban it outright."
Yes they do. That's like saying that society that isn't ready to work on the factors that cause murders, doesn't deserve to ban it outright.
Again the government exists to protect life, liberty, and property. This includes the life of the fetus, yet it also includes that of the mother. Thus, I think it is reasonable to say abortion should be intensely regulated, but not outright banned in all circumstances.
For example, it should be allowable in certain situations, if deemed medically necessary for the mother's survival. It should not be allowed as a commonplace practice or alternative method of birth control.
