Here is an example of what you might try.
Generate a random plot.
p=ListPlot[Table[Random[],{25},{2}],PlotRange->{{-1,1},{-1,1}},
AspectRatio->1];
Generate a vertical line graphic, but don't show it yet.
g=Graphics[{Line[{{0.5,-0.5},{0.5,0.5}}]}];
Show the plot and the line together. Correct scaling is doner automatically.
Show[p,g];
