inflames those passions by...
“casually refer[ring] to abortion as murder”

But it is murder.

If that's really what you believe (i.e. that abortion is murder, not just abortion should be legally defined as a murder), then you and anyone else with your beliefs should also be willing to accept joint moral responsibility for the death of Dr. Tiller (which by your interpretation would be a justifiable homocide).

The semantic differential doesn't work here. It's not that abortion ceased to be murder. Rather, the court decided no one could be prosecuted for it.

With a single ruling the USSC can reinstate the effect of the existing laws!
