As a human, although it hasn't fully developed (but still human), it has a right to live unless the mother says so. To me, that's no different than my mother deciding I'm a bother so she wants to kill me.

Completely different because a group of cells is not a human. And at the time that abortions are allowed the fetus doesn't really have a body, it's a group of cells with the potential to become a human but it is NOT a person. It doesn't see, or breath, or have emotions, it hasn't lived, it does not get more rights than a full blown human being.
