In December 2019, she defended her position in an Oxford-style debate at the Soho Forum, arguing that libertarian principlesâparticularly the non-aggression principle and the concept of self-ownershipâmust be applied consistently to unborn human life. ďż˝

Mere Liberty
What This Stream Will Explore
This conversation will examine the philosophical and moral foundations behind some of the most contested issues in modern public life, including:
The relationship between liberty and moral responsibility
Whether libertarian philosophy can sustain a coherent pro-life ethic
The role of theology in shaping political reasoning
The use of the Socratic method as a tool for civil discourse
How competing definitions of rights shape public policy and cultural conflict
Rather than slogans or partisan talking points, this discussion will focus on first principlesâthe underlying ideas that drive positions on law, morality, and human dignity.
Why This Conversation Matters
In an era of tribal politics and ideological noise, serious disagreements are often reduced to caricatures.
This stream aims to do something different:
Slow down. Define terms. Test assumptions. Follow arguments to their logical conclusion.
Whether you agree or disagree with Kerry Baldwinâs conclusions, her work represents a rigorous attempt to apply philosophical consistency to issues many people approach emotionally or politically.
That makes this conversation worth having.
