I will name myself, I have no problem with the 24 week limit that many states in the US have. One percent of abortions are after 20 weeks. 1 percent. That is including medically necessary and not medically necesarry abortions. I don't care when 'life' begins or about thought. When life begins is not relevant just becoming a person isn't good enough. Yes people have a right to live, but not at the expense of others.
A person with kidney failure has a right to live , but that person's right to live ends at their need to use someone else's body to survive. This is why people cannot be forced to allow the use of their kidney to save someone with liver failure.
A person who is bleeding to death has a right to live, but their right ends at their need to use someone else's body to survive. This is why even if there is no blood available the people around cannot be forced to allow the use of their blood so save the person.
A fetus in my opinion is not a person until whenever that debatable moment when it becomes conscious of itself. But that's just my opinion on what constitutes a person, for all that's worth. So for the sake of argument let us say that life begins at conception. A fetus is a person from the second that sperm penetrates that egg. A fetus is certainly no more special than other people. So, a fetus has a right to live, but its right ends at its need to use someone else's body to survive. We have established precedent that a person cannot legally be forced to allow the use of their body to save another person. So, you see, person or not is irrelevant. Even a person does not have the right to use another persons body without permission as means to their own survival.
