I reckon for about the same reasons most societies are - it's wrong, it's illogical, and it destroys a society.
When discussing abortion using the term 'murder' is a false equivalence and appeal to emotion fallacy. It's use is not based in reason or logic.
(Insert witty snap-back about your ignorance of the English language or something, idk)
Ad homs out of the way, yes - arguing that children should not be murdered *is* an appeal to emotion, but to call that a fallacy is... something? I don't know if it's irrational, but certainly on the edge of unwittingly immoral.
If you want a logical reason as to why murder of children is wrong I'm gladly willing to cite the depression rates, drug abuse, poverty levels, and other issues amongst women who have had abortions vs. those who haven't.
