So that means whenever a guy jacks off and whenever a woman ovulates, they commit "murder". That also means when a man and woman have sex, any sperm that doesn't fertilize the egg (which is the vast majority of the sperm), is "murdered". Gay guys who have sex commit "murder". How many bugs have you "murdered" by accident, out of annoyance, and/or without knowing? When you wash your hands, you "murder" billions of bacteria and germ cells. When you get an abortion in early pregnancy, you "murder" a bundle of cells that resulted from sperm fertilizing an egg.
It has been argued in many ethical circles that killing animals is immoral but as you say not to the same extent as killing as human being. I believe you have it right there. As for reaping from visibility any voice that disagrees with me? How am I doing that? I simply presented an argument and thus far I have not seen any adequate defeaters for this argument.
What do these all have in common? They are tiny, insignificant organisms, and none of them are humans. If you're going to fight against abortion, you might as well also fight against masturbation, female periods, hand washing and a ton of other perfectly normal actions that result in "murder".
