An interesting debate

David Boaz and Judy Waxman debate the ethics and legality of the morning after pill in an interesting exchange. IMHOP, the root thing they're debating is the nature of rights, Boaz having the negative (no one should be forced to do something) view and Waxman having the positive (people have a right to things) view. It's not a very new debate but they're doing it fairly well.

I do think we're going to see a lot more of these type of debates, and also that it will be a good thing.

To wit these things are being debated at the federal level, and presumably setting nationwide law and legal precedent. In doing so it brings the strongest libertarian argument against a national health care system, which is that national health care would invariably be top-down, and this is what is would look like.
