Abortion. Euthanasia. Drug use. Prostitution.

Is there one of the above that libertarianism isn’t okay with?

Libertarianism is a political philosophy and nothing more - its only position on euthanasia, drug use, and prostitution is that if engaged in voluntarily by adults they're none of government's business.

As for abortion, while the Libertarian Party (which the political philosophy of libertarianism predates by centuries) says abortion is likewise none of government's business, many libertarians, such as Libertarians for Life, recognize that unborn human beings are persons and have the same right to life as born persons.
