64. No, they can't say that. But it's not murder, in the least.
And it has nothing to do with whether or not it's a baby or a fetus, either.

It has to do with the fact that the woman has a right to remove the fetus/baby from her body, no matter what. It's HER body, and the government can't force her to take the fetus/baby to term. And, when she removes it, she's not murdering it. She's disconnecting it from its life support, which she has every right to do.

That "Abortion is Murder" phrase is EXACTLY what we have to attack if we're going to maintain womens' reproductive rights, because if it is murder, there's no way in hell we can justify it.

It's just not, though. People who think it is should take more time to think about what they're saying.
