Because that is what society has determined. That's how social constructs work.
And social constructs can be wrong. Slavery was once a social construct, but I'm sure everyone would say it was immoral and one of the greatest atrocities our nation has committed. I recognize that abortion is a legal social construct in this day and age. However, like slavery, I feel it is morally wrong and it should be changed. I think allowing abortion to be illegal but make murder illegal is illogical. I think it's hypocrisy for the law to say it's ok to kill a baby in the womb, but it's wrong to have that fetus delivered and killed. In this case, the law does not give justice to the unborn.
