You are asking about the definition of words. They mean what you want them to mean, so you get to pick the answer you want. There is no absolute meaning. Even Webster has lots of choices.
As for what's worse..., you get to define what you want to be the specifications for 'bad', and that will answer your own question for you.
Asking questions about the definition of words should have your own answer, then you can see what other people think by comparison. It really makes no difference what definitions you want to use, as long as you explain them in situations where there might not be clarity.

exactly the words or definitions should be put to the side and we should realize that ending a life is what takes place but quite often a rape victim can carry on with their lives in some fashion.
if rape was worse than murder then many would choose to die rather than be raped and then be forced to commit murder themselves

Not sure if serious
You do know that many rape victims go on to eventually commit suicide as a result of the psychological trauma they went through right?

Would you honestly choose to be brutally raped, rather than just drop off the edge of the earth, without knowing any better?
Like, seriously!?!

The OP asks two questions:
At what point did you become a human?
Is murder worse than rape?
He's never been raped OR pregnant, but he proceeds to discount and insult anyone whose opinions differ from his (including those who have been both raped and pregnant).
Makes NO sense whatsoever.

I think his God tells him that aborting the development of a zygote is murder...
I wonder if he thinks his God is a murderer since millions of miscarriages occur every year

It most often goes the other way and they become cold silent repeat killers with no remorse and they begin to crave more and more death
but he proceeds to discount and insult anyone whose opinions differ from his (including those who have been both raped and pregnant).
