Not really. You don't really risk the loss of your small-government or strict-constructionist credentials by wanting government to do something about murder. It's a pretty basic government function, actually, and I'd think that only borderline anarchists would oppose it on the basis of "GET OUT, GOVERNMENT!"
Call me crazy. Oh, I see someone already did.
p.s. - the "laws won't solve abortion" argument was a mediocre argument the last two million times and it's mediocre now. No, abortion won't become extinct overnight. Of course not. NO LAW is that effective. NONE.
