I don't think it is a "life" until it takes the breath of life. I don't go along with abortion with no GOOD reason, but I do respect a woman's right, her choice.

Murder is defined as, "the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another." So, since abortion isn't currently unlawful it's not murder, but for the sake of argument let's assume abortion was illegal. Would it then be murder? It depends on when the abortion is performed, and here's why I think that. Consciousness is what makes me a person. Without a functioning brain my life is no more meaningful than that of an amoeba. That's why we pull the plug on people who are brain dead. Their body may technically still be alive, but the thing that makes them who they are, consciousness, is gone. The parts of the brain that are required for consciousness don't develop in a fetus until the third trimester. So as long as the abortion is done before the fetus has developed consciousness I don't think it's murder.

Murder actually means killing which is against the law, as abortion isnt illegal ,foremost thing its not murder..as on debate point i still beleive its not murder because , murder is killing of life ..and life will be started after breath of the external atmosphere ...ofcourse life reaction been started yet its not the so called life which human being in law beleives ...and aborting is stopping undesired and not specifically murder...
