Free market, not free citizens. Indentured servitude is the absolute top game when it comes to profitability and is therefore an integral part of hardcore libertarianism.

That's what you get when people eagerly read every dystopian cyberpunk novel they can get their hands on because they consider those to be instruction manuals in the form of literary entertainment.

There needs to be additional legislation by the end of March regarding the regulation of the provision of abortion services, in order to make abortions available. Gay marriage on the other hand will be sorted by February.
