Just a thought experiment…what if abortion and murder were completely legal. Instead of the state enforcing laws with violence, the people themselves decided what to do if rights are violated.
Let’s say someone kills your brother. The state is not involved at all - it is up to the victims family to decide what they will do - spend time and resources to figure out who the killer is and punish him? Mourn and get on with their lives?
Many different ways to punish the murderer. Simply refuse to do business with him and ostracize him from society, or take his life in retribution. Each has consequences for the perpetrator, victims, and society as a whole that have to be weighed.
Humans made these decisions themselves for millennia before we had laws or governments.
