I think abortion is the same as murder. I believe the mother has the right to murder her child as she is the creator of the child. Pro-abortion right people (who curiously do not support the right of mothers to murder their children)give two objections:
1- The mother has full rights over her body
2- The child is a trespasser
The mother has full rights over her body and her creations not only when they are in the process of creation but even after they are created. Hence, she has full rights over the child.
The foetus develops when an woman's egg is impregnated by a man's sperm. So, unless the woman was raped, she is responsible for the foetus developing inside her. Every person is responsible for his/her actions until and unless:
1- The consequences of the actions could not be foretold by a reasonable person. If a person cannot foretell that sex may lead to childbirth, I believe he/she needs to be in an asylum
2- The probability of the consequence is so small that an ordinary person would ignore it. I don't think this argument is valid even if contraceptives are used, as there is a 3% probability that the contraceptive will fail even when properly used and 3% is too big a probability to ignore.
One can say that a fetus is non-living.In that case, double-murder charges against killers of pregnant woman are wrong. But, I have never seen pro-abortionists oppose the charge of double-murder on the killers. And these pro-abortion people, most of whom claim to be feminists, have no right to oppose "sex-selective abortion of fetuses" as only living beings have gender and fetuses by their definition are non-living. And lastly, who defines the time when an entity becomes living.
