There is no violation of the rights of the unborn if you simply allow the woman to take a medication that induces labor.
Now that is a possible Solomon's style solution. No doctor would be allowed to "abort" or harm the unborn baby but if the mother began labor early (essentially evicting the child - you have a right to live but not use mothers body), then it was through a more natural process. Of course, if the premie does survive outside the womb but is severely impaired, the mother are still held financially responsible.
Practical point would be a cut off of around 18 weeks.
The other thing is unlike now, the mother would be aware that she is kicking that living baby out of her to starve to death. She will have her right to do so but will be clear as to what that actually means for the life she has inside of her.
