Is vigilante justice ever morally justified?

Abortion is murder lets agree on terms.

You're already lost if you need that framing. "Murder" is a legal term for unlawful killing—abortion is lawful in most democracies. You're not defining terms, you're smuggling in a conclusion. Here's what matters: a fertilized egg has potential, not personhood. Potential doesn't equal person. We don't cremate miscarriages as murder victims. We don't charge women who miscarry with manslaughter. But if you really believed abortion equals murder, you'd be demanding exactly that—prosecution, imprisonment, the full legal weight. You don't, because you know the distinction doesn't hold. The real question isn't semantics. It's whose body, whose choice, whose suffering. That's where you're actually vulnerable. Want to argue *that*?
