The thread title poses an important and legitimate question. It shows one of the many shortcomings of AnCap.

Myrkul: it's wrong to eat your children, because you take away their chance of a long fulfilling happy life.

Serious question: abortion. How would you deal with it?

Assuming that that a justice company comes to the "wrong" conclusion, and starts protecting innocent fetuses from violence / starts protecting the choice and own-body-ownership of innocent women, how would you deal with that?

To the title, you can do that right now. What stops you?

To the abortion question, you select a different justice company.

The whole problem with people hiring different justice companies is that an anti-abortionist is going to hire their own justice company to protect the fetus in someones body who wants an abortion.  That would get messy. 

Ehh... not too likely. No defense company is going to attack another defense company unless they really have to, so arbitration would be the order of the day, which would probably result in the decision: "keep to your own damn body."

I am assuming the person wanting the abortion has no justice company or has hired a weaker justice company.

Fighting is still expensive, and risks lives. Arbitration, by comparison, is cheap, and usually, nobody gets shot.

If money is the dividing line between people getting shot and people not getting shot.... people will be shot. 

And sobody who wants to have an abortion needs to go to arbitration first?

Why do you think that would be the result?

Simple, really. it's the one that causes the least trouble.

If you want a response to the rest of your post:

It would be horribly wrong.

I'll deal with the rest later. First.... Why?

Quote from: dree12
Eating your children ensures that your genes will never be passed on, and nobody else will eat their children.
Only if you eat all of them..


EDIT: Since I didn't get an answer to this question, and I think it's a very interesting one: Could you hire a defense company to intervene in a conflict you are not part of, to protect for example children, the uninsured, the mentally handicapped or demented elderly?

If a justice company is wrong, then sever all ties with it and get a new one.

But for the more twisted people: The threat of a long prison sentence. Would this also happen in AnCap, even though the child has no defence company? Could a company do it "pro bono"? Would regulating affairs between non-customers open up for morality laws?

Abortion free for all (just choose the one that allows it). Ok
