but late term abortion, when the baby is fully formed, and especially a procedure such as partial birth abortion, is certainly murder.
It's not clear that there is murder until the fetus is self aware. That event ranges from 1 to 2 years after birth. Birth is the most clear and straightforward event in which to make a legal distinction.

Patients who have lost their awareness get the plug pulled all the time and no murder charges are brought up. Is it society's duty to preserve these bodies too?
