Opinion Thursday: My Thoughts on Abortion

The January 24, 2013 prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  is
Two days ago (Jan. 22nd) was the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade case overturning a Texas interpretation of abortion law and making abortion legal in the United States. What are your thoughts on abortion? (Take a look at the links for information on the case:

Choice and faith
is what it comes down to!

Choice and faith are components
of humanity's freewill.

Each individual must decide
his or her stand
on the abortion issue.

Sperm and egg mate
become one
create a unique individual;
at the moment of conception
the human spirit,
the human soul,
takes up residence
becomes part
of the human equation.

3

The decision
on whether or not to abort
a human fetus...
a human being...
is the responsibility
of two or three people:
the woman,
her doctor,
and the father
(if he is involved in the concept
of parenthood).

4

I believe
that the moment of conception
is when a human life begins.

I believe
that the life of the mother
should be the deciding factor
in this decision,
but I also believe
that in the final analysis
those responsible
for making this decision
must decide.

5

I chose
to give birth to my daughter
and give her up for adoption;
however,
I cannot make this decision
for someone else,
I can only advise
if I am asked.
