Spoken like a person who hasn't done their homework.

Take this case scenario, if a mother gives birth and in the process would die, is an abortion justifiable? Assuming everybody has an equal right to life, the baby and the mother then are one for one, however, a woman also has the right to decide what goes on inside her body, so now you have two rights outweiging one.

Another case scenario, rape. Imagine waking up one day, to find out you were kidnapped by a group of people who have surgically attached your kidney to that of a dieing violinist. If you disconnect the machine that connects you two, he will die. The people who hijacked you are very sorry but reassure you that in 12 months time the violinist's kidney would have healed and you would be free to go. In this scenario you are not obligated in any way to help the violinist, even though it would be very nice of you if you did. But what if it wasn't only for twelve months? What if you have to spend the rest of your life living with and supporting the violinist?

Interesting fact: the biggest supporters of pro-life are men, and women who can no-longer, or ever could, have children.
