Sure I know what this thread is about. You are asking people who believe that abortion is murder why they also believe abortion should be legal. I've never said that I believe abortion isn't murder in all cases. Infact, I believe that it is after a certain point in fetal developement. I am trying to explain to you why I think abortion should be legal in all aspects but it seems you don't really want my opinion because you don't agree with it. You keep replying to me and I keep replying to you... However, this will be my last attempt to get through to you so bear with me please.
Here is something that backs up what I said about partial birth abortion;
Why Are D&X Procedures Performed?
This is a topic that is rarely discussed during public debates:
1st Trimester: D&Xs are not performed during the first three months of pregnancy, because there are better ways to perform abortions. There is no need to follow a D&X procedure, because the fetus' head quite small at this stage of gestation and can be quite easily removed from the woman's uterus.
2nd Trimester: D&Xs are very rarely performed in the late second trimester at a time in the pregnancy before the fetus is viable. These, like most abortions, are performed for a variety of reasons, including: She is not ready to have a baby for whatever reason and has delayed her decision to have an abortion into the second trimester. As mentioned above, 90% of abortions are done in the first trimester.
There are mental or physical health problems related to the pregnancy.
The fetus has been found to be dead, badly malformed, or suffering from a very serious genetic defect. This is often only detectable late in the second trimester.
3rd Trimester: They are also very rarely performed in late pregnancy. The most common justifications at that time are: The fetus is dead.
The fetus is alive, but continued pregnancy would place the woman's life in severe danger.
The fetus is alive, but continued pregnancy would grievously damage the woman's health and/or disable her.
The fetus is so malformed that it can never gain consciousness and will die shortly after birth. Many which fall into this category have developed a very severe form of hydrocephalus.
In addition, some physicians violate their state medical association's regulations and perform elective D&X procedures - primarily on women who are suicidally depressed.

For the latter part of our discussion; The first reason I gave is is very good justification to have an abortion. If my wife was raped and was impregnated with the rapist's child I would not want that child to breath the air neither would my wife and I doubt, if you have a wife, you would either.
The rest are superficial I agree but they are reasons and you wanted them.
