This guy makes it impossible to want to even try to defend him.
At first I was going to disagree with your analogy, but the more I thought about it the more I agree. Being in favor of the free market does not mean you are in favor of the immoral/unethical decisions made within it. In both the case of abortion and a free market the ideal is to have no regulations because they would be unnecessary. People would make the moral/ethical choices.
It's interesting to think how something similar in some ways has different approaches taken from different sides. I think the interesting thing is that most people would take a very moderate stance on the details in both situations if we could only move past the rhetoric and have productive conversations.
