Can we instead call it anti-murder?

Cal lit what you want. It is murder.

Agreed. But in order to convince others, I think taking an anti-murder stance is more compelling.

Maybe.

Maybe not. I've seen nothing about this. I think the principle isn't one of semantics. The left are the ones to typically play games with words -

  • Pro-choice

  • Anti-abortion (vs. pro-life.)

It's about do we support abortion as a policy or not.

Thing is, they twist anti-abortion as being a bad thing, because they consider abortion it's own category.

I'm not looking to play word games like they do, but it's good to have a phrase which most accurately describes your aim. When talking to a pro-murder fanatic: We're against abortion because we're anti-murder, do you mean to tell me you're pro-murder?

Abortion is not murder. Here's why: murder is a legal term with a specific corpus delicti which must be met to be true. Abortion is excluded from being murder legally and, even before Roe v Wade, abortion was generally prosecuted as manslaughter or merely providing illegal abortions - and not murder.

Riddle me this: if abortion is not murder, why is killing a pregnant woman classified as double homicide?

No consent from the mother? Maybe people hate killers of pregnant women much more than certain other killers?

The fact that laws can be inconsistent in logic and application doesn't lend credence to any side of the abortion issue.

Because sperms = a living being.

Seems legit.
