Murder is the act of illegally killing someone so if it's legal it's not illegal, so it's not murder.
Words can be a pain sometimes.
Haha, that response really tickled me for some reason. I know, I hate it when words don't mean what I want them to mean!
Seems if you go down the number of definitions enough, as Twist demonstrated, it eventually means killing someone brutally, which would go with Warb's abortions and genocides.
Anyway, discussion about whether abortion is murder or not based on the dictionary definition isn't the sort of thing I'd like to get into. I know I am the one responsible for putting it out there, but I don't want to see it go on for pages. When you, Warbler, say abortion is murder, regardless of how we want to define that word, it is clear you feel it is the same or pretty much the same as killing a human. There is really no confusion here on what the other one means, so it is a non issue.
