Chia, let's just straighten out a few points.
You start from the principle that abortion is murder. I do not.
A huge dilemma for people like you is what happens to unused frozen embryos in fertility clinics. Is it murder when unwanted embryos are destroyed? Should common treatments for infertile couples be halted? Should all of those stored embryos be brought to term?
Are you familiar with ectopic pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, or the dilemma of pregnant women who must take life-saving drugs to preserve their own health-- that would nevertheless harm their fetus? Is it murder to abort a fetus with severe defects that would have just a few hours to live in severe pain as a baby?
None of these have anything to do with abortion by choice. You are using the very rare instances that involve a difficult situation to advocate for the general practice of abortion. All of these examples are when either the mother or child suffer from an incurable medical condition that usually requires dangerous treatment, and will inevitably kill one or the other.
None of these have anything to do with healthy and viable pregnancies.
