To answer the question you kicked, Mechaman has the freedom to move to any state he chooses to live under a code of laws that best suits his beliefs. How is that not libertarian?

If anybody could direct me to the part of the Constitution that says Congress has the power to ban or legalize abortion, that would be lovely.  Oh, nevermind, it's probably covered by the Commerce Clause for some reason.

Probably the same clause they use to criminalize other murders, in all likelihood. Then again, you're looking at an issue that activist judges ruled on instead of going through the proper legislative process.

Where is the federal government given the express power of making laws against murder of any kind?

Probably the commerce clause.

I hope you were being sarcastic...

Of course.
