Legal Murder

Murder is a legal term and it applies to abortion until a law is passed that says otherwise. That courts do not charge abortionists with murder has to do with the fact that it is legal, not that it isn't murder. For murder to apply, one human being kills another human being. The pre-born child is a living human being from conception, this is a biological fact - ducks come from ducks, frogs from frogs and humans from humans - FACT. Also, the fact that pre-born have limited rights is a legal choice, after all, in Canada, women were not "persons" under the law until into the 20th century and had very limited rights (just like pre-born children today), yet if someone killed a woman, they could still be charged with murder, unless a law was passed to legalise the murder of women (thankfully this did not happen). In the US, blacks did not always have the legal status of "personhood", yet a person could be charged with their murder; however, depending on when and/or where this occurred, the penalty might not be the same as for murdering a "white" person. Even an illegal alien can be "murdered" - citizenship is not a prerequisite. It was decided that certain persons were less equal than others and, therefore, treated differently. Blacks, Jews, Women were not and are not subhuman and do not deserve to be treated like animals or worse; the same is true for babies that are still in the womb -they are not sub-human, inferior, or alien - we all started as a zygote, we all developed in basically the same way and will continue growing through many stages of development until we die, either of old age or cut short by accident, disease or someone else's choice.
