Libertarians support abortion rights, don't they?
It's a matter of personal liberty, isn't it?
First of all, that doesn't really answer my question, and abortion is not by any means the only social issue. But more importantly, the vast majority of libertarians do not hold a liberal position on abortion. There are a fair number of libertarians who are pro-life, but the views of most libertarians don't fit neatly into "pro-life" or "pro-choice" labels. The positions that I hold on abortion I feel are the same as many who consider themselves libertarians, which are as follows:
-Opposition to any federal regulations on abortion.
-Supporting the rights of states to have their own restrictions on abortions, i.e. overturning Roe v. Wade.
-Within my own state, opposing a law that would outlaw abortion.
So, basically in favor of abortion rights, but by the rule of the law within individual states, not the Supreme Court. This is NOT the position of most liberals and/or pro-choice activists.
