yup. that should be a right that everyone with a kid in them has, as well.
surely it shouldn't be the ideal circumstance. but no one should be forced to carry a baby they do not want, or cannot support.
Also, how in the world could you say that a baby has no value to other people? There are millions of people/couples in the world right now who would kill to have any baby that you decided you did not want to raise. Go find a woman who has been struggling with infertility, and ask her what the value of your unborn child is. I promise you she would tell you is it absolutely priceless.
adoption does the same thing.
and to me, a fetus has no value. it has no experience, and has done nothing. just being a potential human is not good enough.
