Some pro-choice advocates believe that a woman's right to her body should take precedent over any rights the unborn she's carrying might have and that abortion should be legal up to the point of birth.
Some pro-life advocates believe that a fertilized egg is an individual and has the right to life regardless of what the mother desires and that abortion at any time during pregnancy should be illegal except in certain cases like rape, incest and health risks.
A third option, which is rarely discussed, is that a fertilized egg doesn't constitute an individual and the point that a fertilized egg does become an individual should be determined by legislation.
Our beliefs give individuals the right to life, so abortion after the fertilized egg becomes legally an individual would be illegal except in the cases mentioned above.
