Abortion is absolutely not murder. It is conducted when the fetus is barely even a fetus, it’s more like a clump of cells. There is no brain function, ect. Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being by another person. In the first trimester, when around 90% of abortions are happening, there is no conscious thought, sensory awareness, or feeling because the higher brain structures required for this functions have not yet developed. Therefore, they are not counted as people. It does not fit murder.
