Again, a misunderstanding of the philosophy. Libertarians tend to believe the States should be free to legislate what they want. Forcing Abortion legal at the federal level is controlling what States were once free to decide. What they want to do is eliminate federal control of abortion law; and let the states decide. I have never heard them suggesting Abortion or Gay Marriage be illegal at the federal level. I personally don't agree with all aspects of their philosophy, but it's still consistent.

Again, a misunderstanding of the philosophy. Libertarians tend to believe the States should be free to legislate what they want. Forcing Abortion legal at the federal level is controlling what States were once free to decide. You're confusing a states' rights fetish for libertarianism. Libertarians are generally alarmed by forcing things to be illegal, not making them legal. I have never heard them suggesting Abortion or Gay Marriage be illegal at the federal level. Then you haven't been paying close enough attention. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/26/rand-paul-fetal-personhood-flood-insurance_n_1628128.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/26/rand-paul-fetal-per... http://theiowarepublican.com/2011/ron-paul-condemns-obama%E2%80%99s-decision-to-abandon-doma/ http://theiowarepublican.com/2011/ron-paul-condemns-obama%E2...
