Libertarianism has overlap with both Conservatism and liberalism.
These are in general, I know there is more to it. :)
Conservatism: Small government
Liberalism: Larger government
Libertarianism: As small of governament as possible.
By this metric they are conservative.
Conservatives: Pro-life
Liberalism: Pro-choice
Libertarians: Pro-choice
Under this metric they are liberal
There is alot more to it, but everyone would get bored with all the nuances. As well as I type at a snails pace:).

Not all libertarians are pro-choice. There is an argument that it's a violation of the NAP by removing one's right to life. However, libertarians don't believe the solution is legislation. 

I know:). I was just going by typical political stances. I just didn't want to get into the nuances, exceptions, ect...

A better example would have been gay-marriage or drug legalization. Abortion is quite a controversial topic among libertarians with almost a 50/50 split.
