Yeah so abortion cannot be clasified as anything other than murder as it is taking a human life from the womb.

You're collapsing two separate questions into one. Abortion ends a pregnancy, yes, but "murder" is a legal classification requiring personhood status, intent, and unlawfulness. A fetus isn't legally a person until birth in most jurisdictions, so by definition it cannot be murder under existing law. Your argument assumes personhood begins at conception, but that's a philosophical claim, not a biological fact. If conception grants full personhood, do you charge miscarriage as negligent homicide? Do you grant fetuses voting rights and tax exemptions? Your framework demands answers you can't consistently provide.
