'''Abortion'''
'''Abortion'''


Libertarians are split on the issue.  On one hand the Life and Liberty of the woman is at stake and the life and Liberty of the Feotus is at stake as well.  The majority of Libertarians agree that the government should stay out or that it should be a state issue, or that it should be completely legal and unrestricted, however [http://www.l4l.org Libertarians For Life] disagree.
The majority of Libertarians, whether "pro-life" or "pro-choice", agree that the government should stay out of the issue.  Some do support laws restricting abortion in the second or third trimester, some from conception. Some believe only state or local governments should legislate on the issue.  [[Pro-Choice Libertarians and [[Libertarians for Life]] have differing positions on the issue.


''' Immigration'''
''' Immigration'''


Again split on the issue, some believe in strong border control, and some as well as the official party, stand for open immigration.  The ideas behind both are that of strong national defense, vs. a growing economy and liberty.  However some believe that to protect the liberty of home grown Americans immigration must be slowed, accounting for the fact that illegal immigrants, often times do take jobs.
Most libertarians believe in the right of peaceful people to immigrate into the United States.  Many support restrictions due to disease or criminal history. Some support stronger restrictions on other criteria.  All agree that welfare programs should be phased out and that doing so will discourage those who come to this country primarily to obtain such benefits.


'''Victimless Crimes'''
'''Victimless Crimes'''


The LP believes in a strong sense of individual liberty, and thus supports the complete legalization of all victimless crimes.  The idea behind it simply being no victim no crime.  This includes, prostitution, drug use, ownership of guns, etc.
