The topic of Abortion

That's very profound.

The innate problem with the topic of abortion is the split issue between the two clans.
It is possible to be both pro-life and pro-choice. The problem is, as a result of an underlying problem of the argument, pro-choicers are viewed as babykillers and pro-lifers are viewed as wanting more gov't control. This is obviously not the case, but some fanatics (those DAMN fanatics) play it out as such.
I think that life is sacred and begins when the mother becomes aware of the baby because it is at that point that the Mother must make a decision about the baby if she's in a situation where a decision is warranted.
Adoption is always a better option, and I believe more should be done about making this option more viable and easier to deal with, while also focusing more on the largely ignored portion of this discussion that is foster care and the overwhelmingly large population of parentless children.
By making it illegal you run the risk of underground abortions, which has already been discussed. It should be an option for exceptions already discussed to get a medically safe procedure to abort the baby.
The government should never really be involved in governing such a personal experience as child birth. I've run into people that argue that the FDA already controls what we eat and medicate ourselves with, and as a gov't entity therefore have control over us. Still, very few gov't order such surgical proceedings (pending the court case decision that was brought up).
In any case, it should be the woman's choice, but major steps should be taken to educate any woman about her options. Some will always seek abortion, unfortunately, and to simply deny them that (especially in the exceptional cases) simply based on a supposed moral high ground is abhorrent and abominable.

If all this is too much, just watch the milk dance

Jam it back in, in the dark.
