Herman Cain being attacked for being a TRUE LIbertarian

sperm & egg are both living organisms, BEFORE fertilization has taken place.

So? Neither of those can develop into a human, it takes the combination of them to make human life.

If it were as simple as "combining" then the pro-lifers would be right...
 
An egg, sperm, or fingernail are genetically identical to the human being from which they are derived. A zygote, in contrast, is a genetically unique human macro-organism. IMO, human conception seems to be the most sensible division between a creature and a person; more sensible than birth, in any case.

I guess I am a fence sitter on this subject, but, As for a right to life aspect... if one life is causing the end of many lives, ending the one life to save many does seem logical does it not?

I'm sorry, but these GOP/Tea-Bagger attacks against Cain are true hypocrisy.

True Libertarianism seeks to limit as much government involvement in people's lives as possible.

And to his credit, Cain's views on abortion represent TRUE Libertarianism.

He is against abortion....BUT...he believes its not the role of government to tell women or any other person what they can/cannot do to/with their body.

This is the view of a TRUE Libertarian, and I totally respect Cain for his view.

But unfortunately, as the GOP/Tea-Baggers are a bunch of hypocrites, such a view will not help his chances, but hurt them.

Such is the fate of Conservatives who actually hold true to their views, regardless of how popular they are.
