[[Libertarian]]s also oppose social conservatism in some extent whenever social conservatism advocates [[government]] intervention for its goals. Some moderates and pragmatists within the Republican Party in the U.S. also believe some of the social conservative ideas, such as restrictions on contraceptives, are not practical in today's society. |
