If a deranged person kicks a pregnant woman in the belly one week before her due date, it's murder. If the mother chooses to abort one week before her due date, what is it?

How has the status of the baby changed between the case of the attack and the case of the mother?

Kick the pregnant woman in New York and it's not murder, but in any other state it isn't?

How has the status of the baby changed because of the difference of a few miles?

Well argued, FRiend.

My own reactions don’t rise to the level of a rational argument. That’s because the very idea of baby killing makes me want to retch.

Before birth, the ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale are open.

After birth, both are closed.

Those are about the only physical changes between the fetus and baby.

That would be a way to have the law struck down by the Supreme Court as a violation of "equal protection".
