Well, with legal rights I really had only the right not to be killed in mind, but it seems that a lot of states are already working pretty hard to punish women who engage in behavior likely to harm a fetus during pregnancy already.
And with the third, nope, not a bit. I think in many states, especially in actual practice rather than just what the law says, a woman has wide latitude all the way through, particularly if she isn't using publicly subsidized clinics. Even partial birth bans are about method rather than termination.
