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, however [http://www.l4l.org Libertarians For Life] disagree. | ||

The ideas behind both are that of strong national defense, vs. a growing economy and liberty.

The issues being here between issues such as screaming "fire" in a movie theater, or the privacy of a suspected terrorist. However most libertarians believe extremely strongly in these amendments, perhaps beyond other Libertarian stances | ||
