To be murder it has to be unlawful. Abortion isn't illegal in most of the developed world therefore it's not murder.

So it’s murder in Texas but not in California? I know legally speaking sure, but if you depend on corrupt politicians from either side to define important moral values you are in for some big surprises when you open up a history book for the first time.

Murder is a legal term and it has a legal definition. It doesn't care about your opinions or morals.

Call it "killing" if you want, but it's not murder no matter how badly you want it to be.

If you are defining it legally only then you can define humans as property in many nations even today. Also, in that case, I assume you would agree that abortion is not a right because legally speaking the Supreme Court says so?
