The condition on which your rights may not be infringed is your willingness to respect the equal rights of others. If you deny a brand-new human being his or her right to life, what claim do you have to have your own right to life respected? Killing the child forfeits the obligation of others not to infringe your own rights.

"It does not preclude violent defence of ourselves, our loved ones," --
Indeed it does not, and it would apply in this circumstance, imo:
-- My wife & I decide to abort her just discovered pregnancy. As we prepare to do so, the police enter our home to prevent us from doing so under our States new 'anti-abortion amendment'.
Do we have a right of self defence in this instance?

You are simply begging the question of whether a state has the power to proclaim an early abortion as a 'childs' murder, and to use unconstitutional methods to enforce such a 'law'.
In our republic the answer to the begged question is no..
