It's totally fine if you believe that life starts at conception.
The thing that actually baffles me are the states that passed anti-abortion laws, but struggle to provide adequate health care, especially for those who are not financially stable.

I found this article, "States with more abortion restrictions have higher maternal and infant mortality", but feel free to correct or educate me on the topic.

I believe abortion is killing, but it only becomes murder by definition if abortion is outlawed. The literal definition is "the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another."
The fetus won't have cerebral cortex till +12 weeks; no consciousness. So it wouldn't be much different than killing a plant or bacteria. It's debated when it becomes a human.
Yes, I justify murder as it will likely reduce the suffering. Thus, I am a monster in Christians eyes.
