Not to belabor the point, but are you able to define 'murder' independently of the authority of the Supreme Court? Had the court never ruled on the matter, how precisely would you define 'murder'?

I define it the same way all of our criminal justise system defines it, and always has.
You seem to want to define it so that a state can claim the power to sequester pregnant women, as per MrLeroy, correct?

I want it defined like any other word in the dictionary.

Me too.. I've been saying all along that I agree with conventional dictionary definitions. You aren't listening.

I claim that the reason you are avoiding presenting a clear definition of the word 'murder' is that to do so would undermine your claim that abortion is not so. I challenge you to define the word 'murder' - not refer to any third party, but define it as you yourself use the word - or accept my definition.

And your definition seems to want to define abortion as murder so that a state can claim the power to sequester pregnant women, -- is that correct?
-- If not, restate your definition.
