The Tweet that started a 9 hour (and still going) discussion (more like refutation of multiple GOP debate sound bites):
ALL life is sacred, not just your chosen form | @FR33Agents Hypocrite ‘Lifers’ nblo.gs/tlzXG #libertarian #ProLife

A simple statement. A simple call to re-evaluate one’s position on an important issue: because a person opposes abortion but supports wars of aggression around the world, does not make one Pro-Life.
All life is sacred. No person is by nature of greater worth than another.
I am a Caucasian American of Scot and Irish decent. I am a US citizen. I am heterosexual. I am a male. I am a Christian. More specifically, I am a LDS Christian. None of these classifications make me better than someone of a different classification. None make me worse. I have no more Right to Life than another. I have no less either. I am equal in creation to any other human living on the planet. I am also equal with the unborn.
It is in my opinion the height of arrogance to think one is superior to another because of gender, race, nationality, moral belief system or sexual orientation.
It is the height of arrogance to believe that one can choose who can live and who can die in any part of the world.
This means that the idea that innocent lives lost in battle are just collateral damage and part of war. How flagrantly capricious and appalling an attitude toward life is this belief.
If you are to claim to be Pro-Life, one must be for all life, not just their chosen form of life.
