You're no civil libertarian if you support abortion. In fact I'm miffed; it's people like you who give libertarians a bad name. Killing a child in the womb is an infringement of rights (Life, Liberty, and Persuit of Happiness) as well as an initation of force against an individual.
you're all right on everything else as far as I can see.
I'm 33 years young. Support for the Green Party means you support reforming government.

10) Sustainability

Sure, if you believe that a fetus has the same rights as a person. But that's not so.
