The abortion debate has always been framed in the mainstream discussion as "Pro-Life" vs "Pro-Choice." Meanwhile, libertarians often find themselves in a difficult position when trying to choose a "side" on this debate, as they try to weigh the rights of the mother vs the rights of the unborn child. Today, economist and libertarian philosopher Walter Block joins Lions of Liberty to explain why he believes his theory of "evictionism" is the answer to abortion debate that is consistent with libertarian value. Where do the rights of the fetus begin? Is abortion the same as murder? And what objection does Marc ask Walter that he has never heard in nearly fifty years of discussing this issue? Check out today's show to find out!
Pride members will also have access to a bonus, off-air conversation between Marc and Avens O'Brien about the issue of abortion, so be sure to join the Pride today and help us grow the show!

Monday Sep 11, 2017

On today's show, Marc is joined by Scott Horton on the 16th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks to discuss his new book on the Afghnanistan War, "Fool's Errand: It's Time to End the War in Afghanistan." The 9/11 attacks were used as justifcation for the Afghan War, but after raging for nearly 16 years, does that justification hold any water? Why is the United States still involved years after the death of Osama bin Laden? Can Trump's new/old "go after the bad guys" strategy change anything? We discuss all this and so much more with the most knowledgeable human being on foreign policy I've ever encountered, Scott Horton!

Phil disputes the narrative that lack of zoning and regulations in Houston have made the disaster any worse, and how they will actually help the city recover faster. Marc and Phil also discuss the concept of "price gouging", and how it helps to ration resources during times of crisis.
