No argument from _this_ libertarian. A libertarian would oppose
abortion if he considered the initiation of force against another
human being-- and that is precisely what the entire controversy is a
dispute over.
 However, the anarchist wing, whatever their personal views on the
subject, might ask how a "law" forbidding something would be enforced
in their ideal libertarian society. It does not lend itself to a
"restitution" approach.
