Abortion is murder whether someone gave consent or not. Thats like saying if I gave consent for someone to kill my brother its not murder. People want to keep abortion legal so they dont have to deal with pregnancy. Its stupid I think.

Because one occurs with the consent of the mother, and one occurs without the consent of the mother.
Just like sex becomes rape if there is no consent -- abortion becomes murder if there is no consent.
Whether you agree with that distinction or not -- that's the reason the law treats the two actions differently.

Neither one is true in all states.
