I don't care if abortion is murder. Most rational people can understand the idea that there are some times where killing another person is actually in the best interests of everyone else. It is actually, in a general sense, in all of our best interests if there are less unwanted children with irresponsible parents out there.
Edit: not to say that i believe in infanticide. Clearly there must be some line drawn between acceptable termination and legal murder. If i were more christian i might presume that life begins as soon as god "breathes life" into a child, i.e. the kid's first breath. If i were more "christian that doesn't really read the bible" i might assume that life begins at conception. I'm not really christian, but i tend to prefer the former.
