Well, usually (not always, but usually) the two parties are weighing different rights. Only one has his/her life on the line.
Occasionally the other does have her life on the line - which is why I believe abortion should not be dismissed as a medical procedure.
Then there's the question of why an adult's rights trump that of a fetus, since we generally believe they do not trump the rights of a child or baby.
