Why is abortion wrong?

God is the one who sets up the parameters for us to take life. We are allowed to take life under the prescribed requirements of law such as self defense, war, execution, etc. The baby in the womb is executed but has broken no law! Babies have been brought into existence through the act of their parents and have done absolutely nothing wrong. Yet, they are executed. What crime has been committed? What law have a broken in their existence?

The only comparison I can draw to answer the questions would be from Nazi Germany. The Jews were guilty of being Jews, and were, therefore, worthy of death. Likewise, the babies in the womb are guilty of being babies in the womb, and are, therefore, worthy of death.

What laws did they break? What made them unworthy of life? The answer is simple: It depends on the opinion of those in power, of those wielding the knife.

It is only in abortion where someone is executed, and yet that person has violated no law. This is fundamentally wrong and this is why abortion is wrong.

Since when do we kill someone who's broken no law?
Since when do we kill someone who's only "crime" was to be brought into existence via the copulation of his parents?
