I think Kin Wong is arguing against a "straw man".

I've always been bothered with the way some call abortionists
and women who get abortions, "murders".  In my mind a murderer
is one who kills someone they know is another human being.  I
do, however, think that abortion is the killing of a human being.
The root of the problem is not that women are murdering those
they know to be humans, but that they do not value the fetus
as a human.  To call them murderers is to imply that they are
fully aware of what they are really doing.  The majority obviously
are not, though many seem unwilling to be convinced to the
contrary.
