The most basic reason for being anti-abortion is the belief that it is murder. Obviously, if you don't believe that a fetus is yet a human being you will not see aborting it as murder, rather, simply a removal of a temporary appendage belonging to the "mother", at her request, of course.
But those who oppose abortion do see the fetus as an innocent human being, and killing an innocent human being other than for self defense, or war, would be murder. You may disagree, but that point of view should not be difficult to understand.
