My intent maybe better stated as, murder should never be legal for any human to commit or for any human to be the victim of. Moral law.

Also:

Legitimate defense of one’s life, is not murder, but rather a duty. Defending the defenseless, by coming to the aid of others’ whose life is legitimately threatened, is not murder, but rather a duty.

On this we agree, and we agree that abortion is murder. I was commenting on the question of whether the Federal Government could pass a law criminalizing abortion despite the fact that it does not have the authority under the US Constitution to prohibit regular murder. That authority was reserved for the States by George Washington et al.
