How Big Is Too Big? | Capital Commentary by Stephen V. Monsma. MGB: There is a difference between stupid libertarianism and smart libertarianism. Stupid libertarians believe that if only government were ended, people would do the right thing as free people. Smart libertarians first develop non-governmental alternatives, such as a private law practice to fund suits against polluters, coordinated institutions to raise money for PEPFAR, business associations to do non-governmental standard setting so the government does not have to and a living wage in employee owned companies so that each family can afford an additional child (with a tax redistribution scheme to make sure it happens in firms which don't).
As for abortion, the question is not whether liberals favor abortion rights but whether the conservatives have any well developed proposals (or even a vision statement) to actually change the status quo (they really don't). On contraception, this was a stunt on both sides, considering that policies that include preventative care have all included contraception since 2000 according to EEOC regulations. All that is changing is the copayment.
