The Roman Catholic Church says that wasting sperm is murder*, the ardent pro-choice feminist types says until the baby is breathing on his/her own it's little more than a tumor*.
I don't know who's right, and I don't have an absolute answer.
I do think if a "doctor" yanks the leg of a fetus out of the womb, traces the shoulders to find the spine, drills a hole in the skull, uses a tube to evacuate the brain tissue, and then dismembers the body - I'm siding with the "too alive to kill" crowd.
* - this is a baseless attribution based on my personal prejudice, with sarcasm and hyperbole abound.
