I’m just shocked Fox News had Massie on the air.

As a delegate to this year’s Libertarian Party National Convention, I joined many members from the Christian and Pro-Life caucuses in making it clear, both during a Platform Committee meeting and through member surveys, that we vehemently oppose adding abortion language back into the national platform. I have been a member of the Libertarian Party since 2013, though for many years my involvement remained limited because the abortion plank conflicted with my conscience. When that plank was removed in 2022, I was genuinely encouraged. I expressed that support by purchasing a lifetime membership and becoming actively involved at the local, state, and national levels. There are several proposed platform and bylaw revisions I support and intend to vote for at convention next week. However, if the majority of the delegation votes to add abortion language back into the platform, I can no longer continue associating my name with the party. Beyond alienating many existing members, abortion policy has been returned to the states, making a national platform position unnecessary. Likewise, liberty belongs equally to every human being. A platform dedicated to individual freedom should avoid divisive identity-based ideology and culture war language. We do not need race or gender ideology language to defend liberty. Expanding the platform in ways that divide people will not strengthen the movement, it will weaken it. If you are a delegate, I urge you to vote “no” to these proposed platform revisions.
