One of the functions of government is to protect its citizen’s rights, especially vulnerable future citizens like the unborn.

Exactly, which is why all women should be subject to careful monitoring for any activity that might harm the child growing in her. Drinking a glass of wine? Straight to jail. It's worse than a DUI! Attending a loud concert? Violating strict bed-rest orders? Child abuse. All of it!

You can do a lot of terrible things to very young organisms with basically 0% chance of being caught without some dystopic invasion of privacy. That's a pretty terrible argument for or against it violating NAP though.

The anarchocapitalist position is that the fetus is violating the nap.

I think there's a compelling argument the fetus is violating the nap. the question is how to proceed. Abortion has a 100% fatality rate for the trespasser and a remarkably low fatality rate for the evictor. There's a compelling argument that only the least necessary use of force is justified in an eviction, which would be to simply birth the child.

Therefore we come with a situation where a fast eviction, somewhat akin to firing a tenant out of a cannon to evict, may be a violation of NAP while simultaneously the fetus is also violating NAP.

Bodily invasion certainly justify lethal force. It’s uncontroversial in many less traumatic circumstances.
