"No. Abortion should be prohibited by law. (although that law should be administered at the state level, and not at the federal level, for constitutional reasons)"

So your Libertarianism stops at the State level?

No.

The US Constitution prohibits all powers to the federal government, which are not specifically enumerated in the Constitution.

Hence, while I believe that abortion should be prohibited by law, I also believe that such laws must exist at the state level, because the US Constitution does not allow otherwise.
