Good point. Thanks for reminding me.

FWIW, I was going by the Libertarian Party's platform, which says: "Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.'

But you are quite right.

Either way, point out to me a candidate that openly personally agrees with every point of their party's platform, and I'll point out a liar. Of course, I'd have probably just as good odds picking out a liar by closing my eyes and spinning in a circle around any DC government building.
