Of course, at no point following birth is it legal to terminate an innocent human life. Those who consider themselves pro-life argue a negative right to life. I.e., it is not the responsibility of others to provide you with life, but it is the responsibility of the state to protect the lives of all innocents. Socialism argues a positive right to material goods and services, to which it has historically demonstrated a failure to secure said goods and services, and also to protect the individual's right to life.
