Tpaine, you need to brush up some yourself on founding documents.

Remember this little gem?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

[1]- Libertarianism and abortion are incompatible on the most fundamental level.

[2]- The first of all rights you must respect, if you wish to emerge from a Hobbesian state of war, is the right to life.

[3]- Notice that these rights are endowed by the Creator, not the government.

[4]- Once a life is created, no self-respecting libertarian can countenance its termination, pre or post birth.

REPUBLICAN LIBERTY CAUCUS POSITION STATEMENT
Address:http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-rlc/721810/posts

What is the RLC's position on abortion?

Neutral. We have both pro-lifers to pro-choicers, and in between. As far as libertarian groups go, you'll find that we are probably the most tolerant of the pro-life viewpoint. Our immediate past chairman, Cong. Ron Paul (R-TX, 14th Dist.) is very pro-life. Many other members are pro-choice. As libertarians, we oppose Federal funding of abortion under any circumstances.

It is not a litmus test, and it is not an issue that is often debated internally. However, the California RLC website www.LibertyCaucus.org, has sponsored a debate on the issue between two prominent members.
