Is abortion murder? If it has to be killing a person, then we circle back to what is a person.
First - define human, then we can decide if something is murder.

Depends on the State. In Minnesota, no matter what month the pregnancy is in, if you kill a pregnant woman and the fetus dies as well, it is a double homicide which, depending on the situation, you can be charged with double murder.
