The government defines homicide/murder, and it has defined abortion as not homicide/murder. Abortion does not affect society as a whole, so it should not be subject to government regulation. Of course egotistical legislators believe EVERYTHING is subject to regulation by their superior wisdom.

Of what benefit would it be for government to ban abortion? It tried that for over a hundred years to no effect.
The greatest danger to liberty lurks in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.
