OK, I'll jump into the debate.
The anti-abortion crew hold to the moral belief that life begins at conception. We are a nation of laws. So, if life begins at conception, which of the following would you allow a week-old fetus to get:
1) A Social Security Card
2) Life Insurance
3) A deduction on its parents' taxes
4) A passport.
If the fetus is a child and a citizen at conception, it should be eligible for all of these things. If you do not think a fetus should be eligible for all of these things, then you belive that a fetus is NOT legally a person.
If a fetus is not legally a person, then the question of abortion becomes a moral issue.
Do you really want the government to be in the position to tell us what is moral and what is not?
