The killing of an unborn baby can never be justified under any circumstance because it does not provide a solution to the situation that lead to conception. Illegalization of an abortion implies that the state is able to cherish and nurture human life.

justice and advocating for women's rights, we should not also compromise the right to life of the innocent.
