Getting away with murder?

So, thanks to the magical world of Twitter I learned that George Tiller was shot in Church today. I am pro-life. But I understand there may be circumstances when an abortion is the only option.
One thing that aggravates me about the guy, is that HIS abortion clinic offered funerary services to his "patients".
"Some of these services include photographs, footprinting and handprinting,
baptism, cremation, arrangement for burial in or out of state..."

Let me get this right. It's not a "person" but yet you're going to take the baby's foot/hand prints and baptize the baby? Sure, I'm not holing a college degree, but doesn't that mean it's not a "blob of tissue". Maybe there are people who baptize and cremate their tonsils or gallbladers. I seem to remember some religion where the person needs to be whole when the are burried. But surely a "fetus" doesn't count. Anyways...

So, why is it not murder when it's done pre-delivery. I'm not up to date on my abortion techniques, but don't they induce labour? If a girl has a baby and leaves it in a dumpster, won't she go to jail? Why is it so different. Oh wait... the "doctor".
I am sure that there is a small percentage of cased where it's the only option and that the "parents" need the closure.
