Okay. Let me see if I can answer this.
First, I understand your point that "murder", defined as an immoral killing, can be misused. And my response to this is, "So what?" Howard Dean calls Republicans evil, and I don't see anyone telling us to stop using the word because Dean misused it. Michael Moore and Dean are not correct, because their statements are untrue. That they think they are correct does not make them so. I would not throw out "murder" because Moore uses it wrongly any more than I will throw out "evil" because Dean uses it wrongly.
As for what law abortion breaks: no American law. But it does break God's law, which states, "You shall not murder." American law will be abolished eventually. But God's law is eternal, and it matters more than any law a nation can come up with.
I realize that "murder" is a legal term, but I don't agree that using it in a moral sense is incorrect.
Thank you for the understanding.The point was for those who were arguing that abortion is immoral because it is murder. All I'm asking is for them to elaborate on that and remove "murder" from the discussion. Can you define why abortion is immoral that will not allow for the killing of other innocents that we don't think is immoral (such as war-time collateral deaths)?
