I argued it was tantamount to murder, which is true enough; the only difference between abortion and murder is that abortion is legal. Killing a cow is not murder because a cow is not a human; the definition of murder we are using here was already given by Rev Rye.
No, its not true enough. If you consider legal abortion "tantamount to murder", then you should also see farms as institutions that are tantamount to a continual holocaust.
The definition of murder is not human specific. If you travel to Hindu lands, such as India, then surely it is murder to kill the sacred cow, as it is illegal.
Putting the word "human" into the mix does not change or water down the actual definitions.
