It is not only the abortionist and courts that recognize the killing of an innocent unborn child is murder but President Bush has also made it clear that he is against abortion and then acted by banning partial birth abortion.
Murder of an innocent human being is wrong. Murder is a destructive characteristic our society holds. To take the life of an innocent human who has not even been given the chance to live is a terrible thing. We as other human being whose mothers chose to give us life have no right to take another life.
