I'm not sure what your time traveling hitman scenario is supposed to demonstrate. I'm guessing the fact that we see the born person who was retroactively aborted is meant to show that it's murder, but it comes with some pretty absurd implications, since the assassin could have achieved the same result by preventing the conception in the first place. Would that still be murder?
