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.
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.
