I work as a Customer Laison Complaints Case Officer at a major insurance company, where I have worked for 3 years. I left school when I was 17, as I had some very bad experiences at school and wanted to see what the real world had to offer.
I now live with my boyfriend of 3 years and spend my spare time reading, writing, socialising with friends or just watching some TV.
Times are still hard and I'm trying to cope with various health problems on a daily basis but I'm working my way through things and really want to stop it from getting me down.
I dream of some day going to America and watching a real baseball game (we don't have that at all in the UK) and perhaps finding a job I find creatively fulfilling. Until then, I'm happy trying to be me and making the best of what I have.

If a pregnant woman is killed, it's considered a double homicide then why are abortions looked upon differently? I've heard things like when a pregnant woman is killed, it wasn't her choice but it is her choice in the case of an abortion. But, she isn't killing herself when it comes to abortions; she's doing it to another, developing human being. So that just doesn't make sense to me. (link)

Abortion is a very complex issue and one that has been strongly debated for a long time by a combination of Pro-Life and Pro-Choice supporters.
I won't say what my opinion on this is, as I don't think you need to know that.
However, to answer your question, the main reason that abortion is not legally considered murder is that scientific research has shown that the foetus is not actually considered a living human form, as at that stage the development is not very far. Of course, there are arguments that the foetus is still alive and termination of that life constitutes murder. That being said, for every opinion one person has regarding this issue, there is another to counter it.
Technically, yes the life is a developing human being but because it has not developed to a stage where it could be considered (scientifically speaking) as more than a foetus, it is not considered murder.

But it's concidered muder if someone else kills the mother AND the baby? See what I'm saying? It's kind of like saying, if the mother kills the baby then it's fine, because it's *just a fetus* but if someone other than the mother kills it, then it's murder.
