Well, I for one agree with them in principle. Every life has intrinsic value. In a society with working anarchy the rights of even a embryo overrides that of the mother, she and her partner shouldn't have got her pregnant if they didn't want a child and if she then is pregnant anyway by mistake - that's the risk in life, they shouldn't have taken that chance if they're not prepared to accept even the minimal chance of her getting pregnant. 
But aren't there exceptions - well only one that I'll accept, the one where the life of the mother is in danger - in any other case both she and the unborn child will survive to see the light of a new day.
As for the present day I'm some what for pro-abortion, it's not a good world to bring up a child in.
