Abortion is murder

Abortion is murder. The legalisms are that one may commit this murder when a doctor is paid his fee for that "pound of flesh." (There is no NO difference between Shylock and abortion doctors, especially beginning with Alan Guttmacher and the Guttmacher Institute, and their murderess client baby murdering Mothers and Cain who killed Abel.)
