		<description>I have spent a lot of time reading that article and I am still left hanging: What is Marc Emery advocating?  

As far as his personal experience is concerned, I do not trust his recollection of his own personal history. I find it highly ridiculous to believe that his long-time family doctor conspired to get his girl-friend pregnant by telling her to stop taking birth control pills yadda yadda yadda.  This may sound harshly prejudicial but his account sounds neurotically paranoid.  

Instead of presenting himself as a "libertarian" in such a confused manner, I suggest that Emery just sticks to advocating the decriminalization of marijuana.  


At the end of the article, Emery writes:  "&lt;em&gt;In Canada, abortion is unregulated, and available with no state interference.&lt;/em&gt;"  which is immeasurably naive for a self-described "libertarian" to say.  
In Canada, abortion is made available by the state and subsidized by the tax-payer.  That &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; state interference.  


By the way, Matthew, thank you for the vulgar language warning.</description>

		<description>Thanks for highlighting this article. It was a riveting read.

What I take from it is that there is a visceral reaction to killing one's own child that our society tries to mask with euphemistic references to 'tissue' and such. But in our guts we know the truth.</description>
