Abortion

Abortion is one of the more contentious topics among libertarians. Some believe that abortion is murder and that a fetus is equivalent to a baby that is born, while others believe in a woman's right to evict a parasite (fetus) from her body at any point of time.

Walter Block has a theory known as evictionism where he separates the act of evicting the fetus from the killing of it. if the Fetus is viable outside a woman's womb then it must be left alive and anyone willing to take it allowed to do so. The woman/host of the fetus should not kill it. in the case that the fetus cannot survive outside of the womb, it is a parasite and the woman does not have any obligation to let it live inside her and can evict it at any point of time.

Some argue that in a free society without a government monopoly on force/law, it is unlikely that pregnant woman can be stopped from aborting, or that people will be able to do it.
