Correction: Murder is the unlawful taking of an innocent person's life, and embryos/fetuses aren't "persons." Because, at a minimum, a "person" must be an entity that can experience pain (suffer, which squirrels can do), be aware of its surroundings (sentient, which the hundreds of thousands of pigs and cows slaughtered each day are), and can see itself as existing over time, or is self-aware (consciousness, which only dogs, dolphins, great apes, humans, and a few other species are capable of). A fetus, prior to the age of 18 weeks, is none of the above.

Ah, so the Bible is your favorite collection of ancient myths and fairy tales, huh? Nice. Personally I have an affinity for Homer's the Iliad and the Odyssey, but the Vedas, the Pyramid texts, the Coffin texts, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Instruction of Amenemope, the Book of Caverns, the Book of Gates, the Amdaut, the Book of the Heavenly Cow, the Code of Hammurabi, the Kesh Temple Hymn, the Popol Vuh, the Avesta, the Koran, and the writings of Herodotus are all good too.

@Flexinciple When life begins is irrelevant. Murder is the unlawful taking of an innocent person's life, and embryos/fetuses aren't "persons."
