My belief, philosophy, or other term assigned for it. Agency is the God-given 
right to choose for ourselves. Freedom, if you will. I do not have the right, 
aside from education about consequences, to prevent someone from their 
choice, provided their choice does not interfere with the same right for 
another.



For instance, if you want to smoke Pot, that is your choice. Selling it to 
another, on the other hand, influences the buyers (assuming he uses it) 
Agency, and should be crushed.

Abortion totally removes the Agency from the baby, who now never has the 
opportunity to exercise its agency in any way.

This assumes the mental faculties to be able to choose.

Most crime is wrong because it inhibits the victims exercise of Agency

I don't have a lot of time to go further into this right now. However, it is 
a brief summary

I guess I am a kind of libertarian

Explain firther, if you please.  I have heard the term used in socialogical  
and 
philisophical conversation.  I guess it could even confer to theological 
conversation, I don't know.  Are you meaning like soverignty in choice and 
action?......................

 I strongly believe in Agency. In a similar light, I am obligated to act to
