The pro-life line of argument would be that that mother's choice not to give birth does not entitle her to murder her unborn baby any more than her choice not to raise a kid would entitle her to murder her newborn infant.
The pro-choice side will immediately dismiss the word "murder" when applied to any unborn "baby". From there perspective, there is no baby, there is only a lump of tissue, so it cannot be murdered any more than a tumor.

Anyway, my point is that arguing for the "rights of the mother" will never convince anyone who's pro-life to change their mind because, from their point of view, you're arguing that a mother had the right to murder her child.
