A given matter must first be a prescribed power of the federal government before the Supremacy Clause kicks in, and by definition, unenumerated powers are not a prescribed power of the federal government.

Yup, and one of those is protecting citizen's Constitutional rights. So, here's my c&p again:

State laws may not, in their enactment or enforcement, violate federal law or the Constitution. The federal supersedes state law (which you just posted) and the federal govt is obligated to protect people's Const rights.

Bonus reminder:

This is why no states have yet made having an abortion a crime, only providing them. This is also demonstrated by the example that you can go to another state and kill your unborn but you cant do the same with your toddler (at least not without criminal penalty).
