The problem with murder is it takes an innocent human’s life away without their consent.
But would you agree that the inherent problem with taking away something's life is that they are deprived of their future. If not this, what makes death bad?

The claim that a zygote isn't a human
Whether or not we classify it as a human is surely irrelevant, either way the end result is the same.
If you support legalizing abortion, at least acknowledge it kills a human being. There are times when it is okay to kill human beings (murderers, rapists). You just need a good enough rationale.
Would you agree that the problem with murder is depriving someone of their future?
If so then surely the same ethical issues come when you deprive a fetus of their future. However then we can extend this to potential humans who haven't yet been concieved. All of these at a stretch could then be classified as murder, however in the case of the latter it's obviously immoral to force someone to bare a child. That's how I feel about abortion, you are forcing someone to bare a child. At least during the early stages of pregnancy it has the same impact on the fetus as them having never been concieved.
Do you support abortion in the case of rape?
I'd be happy to debate you on abortion 1 on 1 if you want? In a organised debate we can avoid the mess of a paragraph I just wrote.
