The only time when it becomes a question of "whose right is more important" is when the life of either is in jeopardy. If the abortion is simply out of convenience for the mother, rights don't enter into it, because there is no right to convenience.
Medical triage already answers the question when the life of either are in jeopardy. Triage is evaluating two or more patients and deciding who should be treated first. When life and limb is in question, the rule of thumb is, "save the one who has the best chance of surviving".
In almost all cases, the mother has the best chance of surviving, so she should be the one treated. If what is needed is an abortion, then that is what should be done.
