Your wrong about the "conveniently" thing. It doesn't imply dishonesty at all - you just didn't bother to address at what point a fetus fits you definition of life (in all its wisdom). I'd also like to add that there are many adults that wouldn't fit half the criteria in that definition of life - severe mental retardation being one. Perhaps you should consider a definition of life that doesn't come from some pro-choice advocate and then explain to me how an eight week old fetus, as described below, and well within you "first two trimester" cut-off, is not alive.
Eight Week Fetus: All the major organs of your baby have formed now though they are not fully developed yet. Eyes and ears are growing now. The heart is beating strongly. When you have an ultrasound during this time, you can see the fetal heart pulsating.
And for the record - the whole "murder, in my words." Yes i believe it is murder, but they are not my words, they are in fact yours - you just window dressed it with nicer words. YOU ACKNOWLEDGED that at a point (which you CANNOT define) the fetus is "alive." However your loose timeline of legal abortions certainly allows for the taking of a human (again - YOUR DEFINITION) life. And again you justify this killing for "self-determination of the woman."
As i mentioned before - pro-choice advocates are always forced to reference rape, incest, in your case deformed (CERTAINLY NO REASON FOR KILLING A BABY). Being that these situations make up such a tiny percentage of all abortions that take place I'll leave it alone for now, for your benefit. I don't want you to get sidetracked on that. BABY STEPS for Lebell.
