yup... what Acetylene said. But to get back to your OP, even by your own words you refered to abortion as murder of a future human. That doesn't really fit with the definitioni. Perhaps you meant to say that abortion is the killing of the potential of a foetus to develop into a human, as everybody who has gone through pregnancy knows, it's still a chancey prospect.
But we get into semantics. No, by definition you cannot commit murder if the object of murder is not human (even if it is a question of timing, some people define an undeveloped foetus as human) but morality rarely takes a logical route.
You can support your moral convictions by abstaining from intercourse. I had a 2 year relationship with a girl who wanted to wait for marriage to have intercourse. But they were two years of wild and crazy sexual exploration that I think were more imaginative and sensual than the actual act of intercourse ended up being.
Go forth and play!
