"To libertarians, morals are relative, so if it feels good do it.

Those are liberals, not libertarians.

A libertarian would/should say, I have the right to do things, but I accept the consequences of my choices if things go sideways, and most importantly, realize that it's probably not worth the risk in the first place

A liberal simply says, I have the right to do it, and society / somebody else has to absorb the risk for my actions - "I'm entitled to thousands of second chances".

Both reject law as moral pedagogy as the Founders knew men to be inherently evil ( original sin ).

Declaration read Right to Life. Both the left and libertarians disagree as amplified in the Planned Parenthood vs. Casey case and agreed upon by both ideologies:

“At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life.”
