Strange that women would be against a group of people who
Want to hand over all reproductive control over your body to the state legislation.
Want to strip away all anti-discrimination protections.
Hope to pull away all social support. Including WIC.
Remove school funding
Are you telling me you are not looking forward to the era where you have to stay married to a man who beats you because if you leave or even call the cops it will mean utter ruin for you and your children? Children who won’t be able to get free schooling or even discounted food. And of course your employer will be able to sexually harass you as much as they would like since it isn’t technically a violation of the NAP but even if it were you won’t report him because you really need this job. Why wouldn’t women like to return to the 1850s?

I like to make fun of libertarians as much as the next guy, but this is not a common position of theirs and it doesn’t check out with the basic tenets of libertarianism, or diet anarchy as I like to call it. Their positions are usually more along the lines of “abortion should be legal, but the government shouldn’t be paying for it.” Which I strongly disagree with because I can do very basic math, but I think it’s a distinction between libertarians and republicans because you would have a different approach in trying to address their stance. I can at least work with someone who thinks they should be available but not free, I will not try to find common ground with someone who thinks they should be restricted, there’s absolutely no room for “proudly ignorant but otherwise innocent” in the latter, they’re just ghouls who should have been aborted.

Abortion is actually a contentious issue among libertarians.

Correct. One has the right to choose with whom they associate, and the right to choose how they use their speech.

I would argue that libertarianism, in general, is not mutually exclusive to social programs.

This one I’m actually not sure about. I have not made any solid decision on the matter. That being said, I will say that the majority of libertarians would oppose it in favor of private schooling.

I have absolutey no idea what you are talking about here. Everything that you just said is not libertarian. Furthermore, your point about the NAP is completely incorrect – sexual harrassment is, without any doubt, an agression.

The Libertarian Party website as well as statements from Ron Paul is where I got this. I don’t care what some random person 209 years ago said.
The libertarian party website says in multiple locations that they support the right to abortion as an individual matter.
Wasn’t the case the last time I looked. Fine, cool they updated. I was wrong and I am glad you corrected me.
