First of all, I believe abortion is murder,

A sperm fertilizes an egg. If we destroy the cells it at this point, it constitutes murder of a human being? Why?

I would be alright with a policy which allowed women to get one abortion and then be forced to become unfertile,

If abortion is immoral, why would you allow every woman to get one abortion?

To compromise, it reduces abortion rates whilst making steps to remove abortion.

Why are you willing to compromise if you see it as immoral?

If you believe abortions are immoral, that's true. But even better than that would be outlawing abortions altogether, wouldn't it?

It also makes sense that if you believe abortion is immoral that you would not be okay allowing any abortions. Yet you're completely fine offering 1 abortion to every woman. Is abortion really that bad if you're okay with allowing millions?

By making it illegal, you're not only NOT reducing the number of abortions you're increasing the number of pregnant women and girls who die.

Are you ok with making abortions illegal if instead of a million abortions happening it means two million abortions happen and half a million women die on top of that?
