Its different with murder, thats infrindging on another persons body, but we're talkin abortion laws here. Thats pretty much saying "you cannot do this to YOUR OWN body, because WE think its wrong".
Granted, the issue we are really trying to resolve is : how long does it take for the fetus to become a living thing, and this is debatable. I think 3rd trimester abortions SHOULD be outlawed because its had so long to develop.
But im personally a fan of making my own decisions, and i think to deny anyone their own right to decide about THEIR own body is dangerous territory.

I'm just arguing when it's human. A lot of things are living and we kill them all the time. Animals, plants, even bacteria are all living things. But they're not human so nobody cares.
BTW, do animals not have souls?
