Hmm...that's actually a good topic. I'll adress each one separately.

I don't believe abortion is murder. First off, there's a limit to how late you can do it, so you abort two days after conception you're just stopping a bunch of cells from growing. You shed thousands of dead skin cells a day, and kill thousands more, so unless you want to count all of them as murders also...
Plus, look at abortion this way. Say a mother gets pregnant and doesn't abort, but can't afford another baby. So she either abandons the baby after its born to die (worse), leads it in a life of poverty and sickness (worse) or in extreme situations, sells it to an organ farm or something (much worse).

As for the murder of them, I'm assuming at the time of death the baby was nearly complete in its growth, in which case it would have the first inklings of conciousness, but beyond that its what it might have been that matters. The baby would have been born, and would have lead a life, so technically its still killing.
