This is interesting, and it's the key way abortion is being positioned.

If you actually believe abortion is murder, there's zero discussion available.

Voting for anyone who supports "murder" is just not an option. .

Obviously I hope it's clear I'm not holding this opinion, but describing it

Vast majority of these people who say abortion is murder support the death penalty without a blink of the eye, even and especially in cases where there is serious doubts if the accused is the perpetrator of the crime.

I think that's because they see children/unborn as innocent/without sin.

They presume (due to "judgement") that criminals that are executed sinned and God is punishing them.

Which is ironic since, in Catholicism (at least), people are apparently born with sin, and also everyone can be forgiven. Just shows you how much they really care about what their religion says. They prefer the beliefs that make the world seem a lot more simple than it really is
