1. unlawful killing
2. of a human being or fetus
california law considers a fetus as a life. not sure about the rest of the nation
as for abortion, that would fall under 'justifiable/excuseable homicide.'
i dont have the text with me, but just like in self defense or capital punishment this homicide is allowed.. so is the killing of a fetus in that sense (abortion purposes, by a licensed medical doctor)
