Well, I think of it this way, in the case of abortion the mother never gave her consent for the fetus to set up shop in the first place. So, to make it fair, in your hypothetical hook up case the child would first be hooked to the mother without her consent.
Now, if the mother who is hooked up without her consent is legally permitted to unhook herself. Then the mother whose uterus was hooked up without her consent would also have to be legally permitted to unhook herself from the fetus.
