I think the real question is when is it considered "alive", at birth? What is life?
And then you ask when is it considered failure to thrive, child abuse, and murder?
Personally, I think a reasonible arguement can be made (not by me mind you) that life begins at conception, and that life is defined as XYZ... whatever that is. And thus, abortion would be murder. This would have nothing to do with my belief, but about court agreed upon definition of life.
IMO, that definition would have to corrolate with whether taking someone of life support without their permission is illegal or not.
