Naturally, you try to twist the meaning of the word around to fit your argument. It doesn't work.
Unnaturally, you twist the meaning to fit your argument.
Ask yourself this: if the Mars explorer scooped up a pint of newly discovered water, put in under the microscope, and discovered tiny living cells, would NASA report it as the greatest discover ever (Life on another planet!), or would they just ignore it because they were simply little parasites? Life is life. The fact that you place no importance on the smallest and weakest life is sad. That is your choice, however. Peace.
If a person kills a pregnant women and the child inside dies they are charged with 2 murders.
If the child inside her is not a living being then how can they be charges with 2 homicides?
It's a paradox of the law, the mother can kill the child and it's not murder, but if anyone else does it is.
#1 - that is not the law in every state
#2 - in most States where it is the law, they're charged with murder if the fetus is past viability (6 months)

Then I hope if you are ever bitten by a tick and find it attached to you, you don't remove it from your body and kill it... you'd be destroying life.
You take a life and then you make the "choice" to do so. Thats what murder is.
If we were to agree, for the sake of argument, that life begins at conception, abortion is a homicide but not a murder. Murder implies malice and aforethought. There are degrees of homicides from murder to self defense, plus of course, war, none of which constitutes murder.
Abortion is legal and so by definition the taking of a human life, for the sake of argument, is not murder, but it would be a homicide.

Ok, so explain to me how fetuses and embryos can live outside the womb. If you can't, then they are in fact parasites.

Parasites wouldn't just be in water. They'd be inside creatures that live in the water. They can not live on their own. Once again, twisting the definition to try and prove your point. Give it up sir. It doesn't work.
Main Entry: par·a·site Pronunciation: \ˈper-ə-ˌsīt, ˈpa-rə-\ Function: noun Etymology: Middle French, from Latin parasitus, from Greek parasitos, from para- + sitos grain, food Date: 1539
1 : a person who exploits the hospitality of the rich and earns welcome by flattery
2 : an organism living in, with, or on another organism in parasitism
3 : something that resembles a biological parasite in dependence on something else for existence or support without making a useful or adequate return
1. Democrats are parasites
I fail to see how (by the above defenition) an embryo is a parasite. An embryo certainly makes a useful return (human life - maybe even yours), provided you don't kill it first.
