It's basically that the fetus is a human being and as such has as many rights as the woman, and that the woman entered into a contract with the fetus when she became pregnant, and she has no right to unilaterally terminate that contract.

It's far more common among religious libertarians, much less common but not totally non-existent among non-religious ones.
