This seems to be the most widely debated question when it comes to abortion. Most pro-life people say conception, while pro-choice opinion tends to vary widely.  So my question to all of you is; When does the right to life of the baby outweigh the right to choice of the woman? At conception? When the heart starts beating? When the brain begins developing? Or never?

After a lot of these debates it is usually brought down to not when do the cells start dividing, but rather when is the fetus viable separate from the mother's body.

I have fallen along the lines of abortion is a horrible thing and awful decision...but it is not mine to make.  All I can do is try and convince someone that there are other options.  I also do not shame those who make that choice as I do not know why they did or how much they agonized over it.
