Here, Rothbard is discussing the different potential perspectives on children's rights and their conclusions.
He is asserting that a moral obligation to the parents not to agress against their children is not the same as a positive obligation for them to feed and take care of them. He is essentially making a reductio ad absurdum argument.
His preferred perspective was that the parents become 'trustee-owners' of children which inherently comes with the obligation to take care of the child until that child demonstrates the ability to take care of itself by leaving home, which is when Rothbard beleives the child becomes an adult, able to consent to things adults are typically able to consent to.
You can disagree, which is fair, but Rothbard didn't beleive what you think he beleived.
Still think selling kids is okay, though.
@BasedChris
He literally says
You don’t have yo feed your child
Nope, you took that out of context. As I've just said.
How can you misinterpret that?
Tell me
That was an excerpt from The Ethics of Liberty. There's an entire chapter on children's rights. The book is totally free on the Mises Institute website. Maybe go read it?
Some Libertarians beleive that by birthing a child, you put that child in a position of vulnerability, which comes with an obligation to care for it.
For example: If I take you for a ride in my car, and were going at high speeds, and I command you to get out, does my right to ownership over my car obligate you to kill yourself, bailing out of my car when I'm going 70mph? No. I'm obligated to slow down, and let you out safely.
If *I* put you in position of vulnerability, such as if I pushed you into a lake, I'd be obligated to fish you out, lest I be held liable for your death. I, as a random bystander, am not obligated to put my life at risk to save you, I can't be held liable for your death.
Such a stupid way to think of each other in a group tbh
