I did not think I would be arguing about why you do not have the right to kill other humans. Do you have a point, or are you questioning the very reasoning behind not allowing murder in a social system?
You have quite a few problems with your assumptions. First off, abortion is not murder. Murder is defined as killing that is against the law. So long as abortion is legal, it cannot, by definition, be murder. To call it something that it clearly is not in hopes of eliciting an emotional response is dishonest. Secondly, we kill humans all the time. We have the death penalty. We have war. Heck, we've just killed 10,000 Iraqis and plenty of Afghanis in the two most recent wars. Nobody is going to jail for those killings, are they?

You need to rethink your over-emotional responses.
