If the libertarians could be 100% opposed to Abortion and get it through their thick skulls that Drugs make a human being not be fully “sane” or “normal” (and thus no longer a true “individual” or “Consentor”), then I would be a libertarian.

If libertarians became conservative, then they wouldn't be libertarians.

“If libertarians became conservative, then they wouldn’t be libertarians.”

I disagree. To be a libertarian, you have to belive in liberty. To believe in liberty means that every human has innate rights about his or her well being.

Abortion contradicts that. No one is asking the fetus, if she/he is ready to be killed. It is a one-sided decision by the mother

Same applies to Drugs. If you have taken drugs, you are no longer in control of your mind and thus cannot make any decisions about your liberty. You are now a slave.

Thus, taken intelectually, both of these stands are contradictory to the inherent “liberties” in “libertarians”

I would venture over half of America would vote libertarian, if they would change these two positions.
