I am a Libertarian and my views pretty much fall in line with the party. So, I will be looking at each issue on their platform and then adding my two cents in red:
1.4 Abortion
Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.
I do not agree with this statement in that I believe that a baby in utero is human life. Individuals do not have the right to murder for convenience. I do believe that abortion should be allowed if the mother's life is in jeopardy, if a woman is raped (because she did not willingly have sex to create life), or in the case of incest, where chances of the child having health problems greatly increases. In all other cases, abortion should be seen as premeditated murder, and both the mother and the doctor should be placed on trial. The mother should be seen, not as a murderer because she is not performing the abortion, but as an accomplice, and punished as such.
