95% (number made up, but it won't be too far wrong) of abortions are not life or health of the mother, and are therefore not "killing in self defense". They aren't killing in war, either, which is the other "it's not murder" category. Killing another person for my convenience is not a right. It's murder.
So there's a real issue here, not just "strawman anti-abortionist" stuff. It's something that actual anti-abortionists believe. Not just a few, either.
You're not going to persuade them by telling them that "murder is a social construct". (In fact, that argument is completely off-point, because "legal" is a social construct, and the argument is whether abortion should be legal.)
And if you think that there is a right to killing that goes beyond self-defense, they're not likely to agree with you. (I'm pretty sure I don't, either, unless you can be more specific about what kind of right you think that is and why you think we have it.)
