"I suspect some libertarians believe life begins at conception, and therefore advocate illegalizing abortion. Some believe life begins later, and would allow abortion. You'll find the same in the Republican Party. To a much lesser extent, also the same in the Democrat Party."

You are confusing politics with ideology. Although I have previously pointed out that Harry Brown is the political leader of Libertarians, he is also true to Libertarianism, unlike many "Conservatives" who lead the Republican party. If one is true to his/her Libertarian beliefs, then they must be for keeping Abortion legal, because Libertarianism is a Utopian political dream.

I once thought that I was a Libertarian, but my objection to Abortion keeps me from making that claim.

I am vehemently pro-life.

I am also a libertarian.

On the contrary, if one believes life begins at conception (I do), abortion would be the initiation of force against an individual. Entirely consistent with libertarian ideology.

friend, you seem hell-bent on equating abortion with libertarians.

memo to Republicans on FR: you had ALL THREE branches of govt for a time, and still failed to even move on the abortion issue. You have a pro-choice party which lies to you and says they're pro-life when they ask for money and when they ask you to vote for their candidates.

I myself bought into the lie that GWB was pro-life when I voted for him.

and yes, most libertarians vote GOP.

I would have more respect for the GOP if they just came out that they're NOT pro-life.
