Of course, these are only one set of definitions. Off the top of my head:

Murder = unlawfully killing a human
Murder = immorally killing (a human?)
Murder = not preventing a death
Murder = premeditated killing
Murder = killing with malice aforethought

and/or...

Abortion = the killing of a human reproductive cell
Abortion = the murder of a fetus
Abortion = the induced termination of a pregnancy
Abortion = the killing of a pre-born human

This neglects definitions af "immoral," "human," "fetus," "malice
aforethought..."
