This libertarian thinks that if it's human, then deliberately killing it without it's consent is murder.

If a fetus is killing it's mother for whatever medical reason, it's up to the mother if she wants to give her life to her unborn child, or to prevent her own life from being taken.

No matter where you come down on this one, the FedGov has ZERO authority to either forbid or mandate abortion or the financing thereof.

If the fetus is indeed human, the 14th Amendment requires the federal government to act to prevent the deprivation of life without due process.

The 14th Amendment also requires the federal government to have its own definition of what a person is, so, even though that definition was done incorrectly in Roe v. Wade, the federal government will, indeed, determine the legality of abortion nationally.

“No matter where you come down on this one, the FedGov has ZERO authority to either forbid or mandate abortion or the financing thereof.”

Exactly. This Libertarian agrees with that sentence completely.
