I am a pro-life atheist

@Rev Rye: The word you ignored in your semantic argument was "tantamount". Legal or not, abortion is tantamount to murder in that it is a human being killing another human being.

Which means it technically is homicide; the problem with this rebuttal is that "tantamount" means equivalent. The fact is that there are many different types of homicide, of which murder is only one. They may be considered morally equivalent, but the fact is that they're not the same.
