there is a law that if you are in a car accident and you kill someone who is pregnant and the baby, you are charged with double murder. why is it murder in this stance but not in an abortion?

Simple: because it is about consent. If a woman wants the baby, and someone else takes that from her, then they have violated the consent of the mother; however, if a woman does not consent to the baby using her body (pregnancy), then she has the right of bodily autonomy to stop it from doing so (abortion), thus no right of consent was violated. Easy peasy...
