"Abortion is the first degree murder of an innocent."

First of all, you are mixing terms from civil law with terms from terms with religious law. "First degree murder" is a term from civil law, not canon law or religious law. So--as far as civil law, abortion is not any kind of murder or even manslaughter. "Murder" is a legal term meaning the unlawful taking of a life. 
Abortion is legal under certain conditions, so it is not murder. You calling it murder does not make it so.
