But, as long as we're playing that game, anyone who calls abortion murder is a murderer.
Can you live with being a murderer ?

Ridiculous.
But sure

Check any definition of the word 'murder' and you will see the word 'unlawful' used.
If a pedestrian runs out in front of my car while I'm driving and they die, did I just murder them? Are our troops over in Iraq murdering insurgents? Do we murder murderers when we execute them?

Maybe you missed what I've already said:
Only accidents. As for the rest lets call things what they are and argue about what forms of murder are tolerable and allowable in a civilized society.
As in the death penalty. It's murder. Though it can be argued very effectively that it's murder brought on by the actions of the one to be killed. It's certainly not the unprovoked murder of an innocent.
As are war time killings. That's murder. Though it can be argued very effectively that it's murder brought on by the actions of the ones being killed. It's certainly not the unprovoked murder of an innocent.
As abortion is. It's is ALSO murder. It is the unprovoked murder of an innocent by the intentional actions/decisions of another. The intentional actions/decisions of another that are aimed directly at an innocent. Malicious murder in other words.
There are differences. An accidental killing of someone (as in a car accident) could only be considered accidental or negligent homocide. Someone died but not by the intentional will of anothers actions.
The only exception. Unintentional killing of another is not murder. The intentional killing of another is.
One last abortion poll (Now with more options!)
* So, you missed it. Not paying attention ? Here it is again, The intentional killing of another is.
Abortion is the intentional killing of another. It is murder. *
