@junecasagrande@mastodon.social @Popehat@mastodon.social You haven't been looking very hard. The majority of self-described libertarians are pro-choice. There is a contingent that is anti-abortion, typically on grounds of believing that a fetus has a full set of rights which disallow its killing, but that view is in the minority, with most libertarians arguing either that a fetus is not the kind of thing with such rights, or a Judith Thomson-style "the mother's bodily autonomy trumps any fetus rights" position.

@arossp@mastodon.social @Popehat@mastodon.social Perhaps I'm not looking very hard. Perhaps there's a reason that the pro-choice majority of libertarians you describe aren't outspoken enough about it to even get their message out, choosing instead of focus on policy positions that benefit mostly rich white men.
