That’s the Libertarian Party platform which is a sham. As far as I’m concerned, most of its members are Leftwing jackwagons.

My libertarianism is in contrast to statism, and not to be confused with the flawed platform of the Libertarian Party. Conservatism alone does not properly distinguish itself from statism. My views are essentially in the Conservative-libertarian quad.

To your point about Life, a libertarian must value the life-right of each individual especially the most vulnerable. Only a hypocritical asshat would espouse libertarianism but deny it for nascent life.

I prefer the govt handle the bare essentials of national security, some infrastructure, and minimal Constitutional oversight. This is not exactly a Conservative position; it’s a libertarian one.

Their party’s platform is the only honest thing about libertarians, it is where the rubber meets the road, and it all reflects true libertarianism.

Abortion is fundamental to libertarianism, as is homsexualizing the military and gay marriage, porn, and so on, it is why abortion remains in the platform, and why libertarian influence in the GOP is leading to a pro-abortion position, such as we saw in 2012.

This libertarian agrees with you.
