Your moral ideas, if enforced by the state, would violate the womans rights.

No, they would simply recognize that the woman, by voluntarily engaging in an act whose outcome was the vital need of another person for her bodily resources, has acquired the obligation to provide those bodily resources.

You are simply rephrasing your idea that the state can force 'obligations' upon a woman for becoming pregnant.
Not so. -- She has the liberty to abort. -- It is constitutional.
Your insistance that she can be sequestered and forced to term, -- is not.
