It's wrong to kill, to take another human life. Period. If you feel you can justify taking another human life then you can justify taking ANY human life for any reason. It's either right or wrong. There is no grey area here.
The law says it's OK.

as far as I understand, the basic human right of Life does not have the onus to justify anything to you or anyone else.
I have no problem justifying taking human life under various circumstances.
I don't live in a black and white world.
You believe that it is never justifiable to take a human life? Can I assume that you are one of those people who refuses to pay taxes because your taxes support our armed forces?
So, you do not believe that it is ever justified to take a life?
ie if you want me to justify why I should have the right to live, I'll just tell you eff off. if you don't like that answer, well thats just too damn bad.

Well, there you go.
I don't want you to justify the right to live, I was wondering if you could justify your position that nobody should ever take a life.
But you can't/won't, so that's fine.

It is not a baby until after it is born. Didn't you learn anything in biology?

Well, yes. That's how it works.
I know you were, but I was trying to make a point about the concept of a right.
Trying, maybe.

they have a heart beat at 4 weeks.....but shhhhhhhh dont tell anyone that may want to abort.

That's irrelevant. The cells and tissues are still using oxygen and nutrients before the development of the cardiovascular system. But simple diffusion isn't enough as the human grows larger and the metabolic demands increase, vessels are needed to transport the nutrients and elements that life needs.
I didn't realize that unborn people were members of our society.

would be humans? At what point do they become humans and what are they before that point?
Maybe the number has gone down. In what year was the rate 43 abortions per 100 live births? That's considerably higher than the latest data I could find on StatCan.
I have no doubt that you could justify the murder of another human being. It is very unfortunate that in our world that justification is far too common.
You can assume whatever your little heart desires. It is no skin off my ass.
Where does self defense come in or where the lives of your wife and children are at risk? I'd drop the S.O.B. without a qualm or if I caught someone peddling drugs to my grandkids or sexually molesting them. But then that's not murder - it's putting someone out of their misery.
If I need to explain why it's wrong to take anothers life, then you wouldn't understand that explanation.
