Is it murder?

With all the endless questions asked of nominees to the Supreme Court, two questions are never, ever asked. Do you believe murder should be a crime?
This simple question, I would think it is a simple question, should get a simple response of yes.
The follow-up question shoud be, "Do you believe abortion is murder?"
This is the question, the only question, is it not in the never ending debate over abortion?
If you believe abortion is murder, you really don't have a choice but to say it should be illegal. Not only should you want abortion to be illegal, you should want those performing abortions and those asking for an abortion to be tried and convicted of murder, and be sentenced to life in prison or face execution, depending upon the laws in the state where the crime took place.
Anything less than this would be a sham.
But if you don't believe abortion is murder, then why would anyone want to restrict it at any point before birth? Then it should be completly legal for any woman chosing and any doctor performing it.
Period!
My opinion?
I don't believe a human being exisits until after the birth and the first breath of life is taken in.
