A uniquely controversial issue, particularly in American politics,
is
abortion.
Libertarian positions mirror those of other political views:
Many libertarians believe that a woman's ownership of her own body
and therefore her right to control it includes her right
to terminate her pregnancy without any interference.
Others believe the unborn child has a right to live,
and believe that an abortion is the initiation of fatal force
against an utterly helpless victim.
While the abortion issue fiercely divides the American mainstream,
pro-life and pro-choice libertarians are not so vehemently separated.
Like anarchists and minarchists,
they have much more in common than they have dividing them.
