When we talk about custody and access, "rights" are viewed from the context of what is best for the child. It is the right of the child to have a relationship with each parent consistent with their best interests.

You are conflating a "post-born" baby with a fetus. A fetus has no rights until it is born. The woman's right to choose to have an abortion or not is about her own choice about what to do with her body.
The only rights in that equation are that of the woman's and no one else's.
On a personal level, I'm "against" abortion, except for in extreme circumstances, that being said, it is really none of my business what another person chooses to do with their body. Framing it that way, it is easy to separate moral opinions from legal rights.
