I have used the term correctly. You might note that I didn't assert serial murderers, because that is a legal terminology cannoting legally defined criminal behavior. Aborticutionists are, to our great American shame, still legal serial killers.

Sorry, Webster's Dictionary is neither a law book nor the FBI manual on serial killers. A serial or pattern killer is there defined as a murderer who kills at semi-regular intervals for psychological or sexual stimulation, often using the same or similar M.O. Their targets are almost NEVER random, and are most often ADULTS of a particular type or group of signifigance to the killer.

Abortion providers do not fall into this category.

Don't bother disagreeing...I know and you know you will, and we will never agree on this. Thus, further conversation with you on this subject is a waste of both of our time.
