No role for government in regulating abortion

In the first ever US Senate Libertarian candidates forum, Haugh outlined several areas where his views contrasted with those of his opponent, Tim D'Annunzio, including:

Abortion (Haugh says there is no role for government in regulating it; D'Annunzio asserts government should protect the rights of the unborn)
The Drug War (Haugh would end it; D'Annunzio is ambivalent)
US military intervention abroad (Haugh opposes it; D'Annunzio says there are circumstances where it is justified)

No state nor federal government role in abortion

Neither candidate believes the federal government has a role in gay marriage or abortion. D'Annunzio opposes abortion because the victim "is a human being guaranteed a right to life just like every other human being, and therefore under the Constitution every life is afforded the same right to life."

Haugh said no level of government--state or federal--should have a role in those matters. Setting aside morality and focusing on the economics of abortion, "Banning abortion works as well as banning alcohol, or drugs, or guns," Haugh said. "You're only going to make it more difficult for people. You just add more death and more violence."
