 Abortion prohibition has never been about utilitarian ends. Its been about ethics. Its wrong to kill an innocent human life.

 Absolutely. 

"Without morality our constitutional system cannot work" to paraphrase John Adams. Probably no social system can work without morality. The clue is in the word "social". All religions are premised on morality, except Satanism. Is the latter even a religion ?

 If you say so.
Then the soviets banned it exactly because of high ethics and because it's wrong to kill innocent...
Is that right?
