I'm at a disadvantage here. JR has placed very stern restriction on arguing the issue here at FR. But I think I can say why it is not simple. Even if you are right, killing is not murder unless the killer can be reasonably expected to recognize it as such. The last time I saw a poll on that subject (about three or four years ago I think) way less than half of the Republicans considered it murder, though more than half were for criminalizing it). At any rate Libertarianism speaks not directly to human rights, but rather to individual rights. I suppose you could argue that when the woman becomes pregnant, she ceases in part to be a full individual, and to that degree, she must share her individual rights. I don't agree, but I think it would make a strong argument.

A disadvantage to whom? I have different restrictions than you do? I have never seen that restiction ,BTW.

In anycase, arguing about theories about personhood and individuals and all that is irrelevant to me. If you like to delve into such things you will have to find someone else. No one can know the answers to such questions.
