The troll you posted to is not going to give you a straight answer, so being a Card-carrying Libertarian, i will

This is news to me. I thought all Libertarians were “pro-choice” without exception.

In Point of Fact, three out of the last four Libertarian Presidential Candidates have been pro-life: Those would be

• Ron Paul 1988
• Harry Browne 1996 and 2000
• Michael Badnarik 2004

There is an entire organisation of Libertarians for Life. The party membership itself is pretty mixed.

i doubt that any true Libertarian would support Government money being made available for abortion.

While I’d like that to be true, Harry Browne and Badnarik were not pro-life. The latter made it seem he was at one point, but he switched around election time. I’m sad to say it seems the vast majority of libertarians are pro-abortion, which violates the whole philosophy.

Amen to that. Even when the Party plank was silent on States allowing abortion, they were against Roe V Wade and the Federal funding of abortion clinics. Then again, my knowledge of what was on the Party plank verbatim is pretty sketchy prior to say 1997.

Thanks. I knew about Paul and Badnarik but couldn't recall Browne's position.

A lot of people learned about the Libertarians back in the Seventies. Well, they're not the same bunch they were back then. Ron Paul as a pro-lifer was a major step forward in their own embrace of liberty and human rights.

It's not exactly your dad's Libertarian party any more.
