Why on earth would you willingly claim for yourself such a strange belief? It makes you look silly.
Libertarianism -- "No one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against another human being, nor to delegate its initiation". (the Non-Aggression Principle)
This is the fundamental ethical principle of libertarianism. It denies you the "right" to initiate force to prevent gambling, or drug use, etc.... Defensive force against an aggressor is permitted (you are reacting, not initiating, against the force which someone else has introduced), but NEVER the initiation of force.
And so (as should be blatantly obvious), IF you believe that the unborn child is human, it disallows the initiation of force against the unborn child, "No one has the right... to initiate force against another human being...". IF a libertarian believes that the unborn child is human, his most fundamental ethical principle requires him to be pro-life. Or didn't you know that?
And you DO believe that the unborn child is a human being, right??
Speaking of looking silly.....

What is this IF business? Do you mean that a Libertarian may or may not believe this? So Libertarians are not in agreement with THE most defining issue facing America's morality decay? I'm shocked!
So a Libertarian can play loose with Libertarianism and still claim to be Libertarian right?
