The Libertarian view on RH

Liberty-oriented blogger Colorful Rag sums up the Libertarian case against RH as a solution to poverty:
...it will be found that there are other more relevant factors affecting economic conditions [other than population]: level of economic freedom, size of bureaucracy, openness to foreign investments, taxes, industry regulations, monopolies, etc.
Other Libertarian opinions here and here. Basically, the argument is that the Reproductive Health bill is an unnecessary government measure and that government intervention, not population, hampers economic growth.

Note that whenever Libertarian arguments are used in the RH debate, they usually make a case for small government out of RH. The points are worth considering nonetheless.
