We definitely disagree here. Murder, in a legal sense, is the willful slaying of a person. Certainly, a woman can confer personhood to her fetus through her intention to gestate just as well as she can deny it with her unwillingness to gestate.

My point is that to offer the woman lattitude in ending her pregnancy while failing to show solidarity of law with her when she chooses to gestate is hypocrisy of the highest order.
