If you operate from the position that life begins at conception / two months / four months / whatever, then its a matter of the unborn child's liberty at that point. This is why libertarianism is compatible with pro-life.
I'm personally pro-choice, but I've become a bit more sympathetic to pro-lifers in recent years. One big point that I saw in a youtube video a few days ago that I never really thought about: It is deeply immoral for the state to pay for abortions when almost half of the country believes abortion equals murder. It is a major infringement of liberty when you're forced by the state (via taxation) to violate your own conscience. When the state forces you to pay to wage it's wars or execute people, the offense is similar. You could extend the argument to anything the government does against your will, but killing people belongs in a special category of offense, IMO.
