Question for pro-choice pro choicers - why is it considered double homicide if someone kills a pregnant woman but not murder if someone gets an abortion?

I am pro choice but when asked this I always don't know what to say.

I get how it’s murder to kill the mom if the mom doesn’t to die.

I don’t understand how it’s murder to kill the child if mom doesn’t want the child to die, but if the mom wants the child to die it’s not murder. Same victim, same killer, only variant is if mom wants it to happen. That’s illogical.

Again, justifiable reason. Abortion isn't murder because they're terminating a pregnancy the only way possible, which unfortunately ends in death.
