It only came into question when non-liberals in the gop made it illegal. Which is the point. Saying dems are "not the real libs" is bs. Both parties have positions that are inconsistent with personal liberty and expecting govt to limit it's forays into restricting them.It may have been practiced but abortion wasn't a right.There was no discussion of limiting abortion as it was practiced in 1776. So it cuts both ways. But the founders were social libertarians who limited voting to male property owners and approved of slavery.Those liberals believed in limited government involvement in private livesThe Left WROTE The Declaration of Independence
I would largely agree with that, however, the "left" of those days has little in common with any of you.
How much do people of those times have in common with people of today?
A liberal is still a liberal
They look at the challenges of their time and try to improve them
You leftists can't do that
And frankly the Xian governing folks aren't really conservative either. They weren't conservatives when they moved to restrict personal liberty in the latter 19th and early 20th centuries, and they sure aren't now because they want an activist court to push their agenda.
