"The woman does have a right to choose"

It was Lincoln, I believe, that said: "You never have the right to do what is wrong".

Not if it kills somebody else. Nobody has a right to murder, and I'm sure Lincoln was not thinking of that. He wouldn't have fought against slavery if that was the way he saw things.

Also,
"Some things that are legally right are not necessarily morally right."

and,

"Some men seem to think that as long as they keep out of jail they have a sure chance of getting into heaven."

"But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own."
-- Abraham Lincoln

Would that include misquoting Lincoln?
