Roe vs. Wade and the Age Old Debate on Abortion

As noted in Sarah Harrison's blog on Roe vs. Wade, this controversial decision turned 40 this year.  In response to her blog I have this to say.

I think you are right that abortion is more of a non-issue these days.  I understand women should have the right to choose but I do think a waiting period is a good thing.  It's a very hard decision and there are other alternatives. 

There is scientific evidence that as soon as a female's egg is fertilized life begins.  This website does a good job of explaining all the different points of when life begins.  To me what it boils down to is a moral, religious, and/or ethical decision.  These things vary depending on who you talk to and are very personal issues and choices.

I don't know if I could ever have an abortion.  But I do think they should be completely legal and up to women if she has one and what stage she has it, regardless of what I personally think.
