Are you insinuating that only a state, with amonopoly in the use of force, can answer these questions? Nobody is saying that there won't be law without a state, just that the law will be poly centric.

That's an interesting statement. Let me repeat, in answer to you, that I am not proposing any solutions. Unplanned pregnancy can be a serious problem for people, and I am posing the problem, not suggesting any solution. I'm still waiting for the libertarians and anarchists of this forum to explain how they would improve on the current situation.

But you say the law will be poly-centric? Firstly, my (perhaps incorrect) understanding of anarchism is that you're wrong - there is *no law*, no law at all. For corporations, there are no regulations. Any person or corporation can do as it pleases. Street justice, private policing and the free market will see that any abusers are punished. A fine utopia I agree, but, I think, not functional in the long-term. But what I think is not relevant here.

I assume then that this "poly-centric" concept of law pertains to a libertarian society. Can you explain what a poly-centric law is please? I know what poly-centrism is, but I can't understand what a poly-centric legal structure might be like.
