Dammit, fella, read what you wrote!  If you haven't established whether the
fetus is human, and murder means killing a human, you haven't established
whether killing the fetus is murder:
	murder = killing human
but	fetus ?= human
so you may not substitute fetus for human to get murder = killing fetus.
