Try reading it again. I did not say the platform needed anything I said if we made a statement it should mirror the abortion plank.
I also did not say a statement should not be made, I said statements should be issued by candidates because it is an election year and the focus should be on them.
I also said I had already done so. As have several other candidates.

And that is the excuse we used to be silent about Melissa's Sweet Cakes.
I never said any platform should be forced to do anything but that is not where the argument ends.

Which is exactly why I said a party position should mirror the abortion platform, if we take one at all.
Personally I would say we are in an election year, let the candidates make their own statements and focus on them.

I am seeing a lot of divergent libertarian positions on this matter.
For some of us, like myself, it is a matter of freedom of association -
private organizations should not be forced to provide a platform for
speech they disagree with. For some it is a restriction on free speech,
as they see these large corporations as monopolies with too much power
to restrict speech. So I would have to see what was in the statement
before giving my thumbs up....
