If someone was to ask you what all came to mind when they said murder you may have a million different things that come to mind. A big issue that comes to my mind is abortion. I believe that abortion is murder because you are killing a living human. Not only that but you are killing it intentionally, and murder is intentional, not an accident.
Some people say that this baby isn't living or considered to be a human yet when they get the abortion, but they're wrong.

Abortion isnt an accident it is intentional, and when you kill someone intentionally its murder. If you shot some one and killed them you cant just say "it was an acciddent i didnt mean to do it." Its murder, you go to jail for it. That is how it should be with abortions becuase it was no accident, you killed a baby on purpose. Think about that women that was on the
