Well, I'll say that from the moment of conception, a human being starts to exist. But to me it's something different than a person, since that lump of cells, despite being human and with all the potential it has within itself, does not yet have what most people would call a personality, or an discernible individual identity. If it were otherwise, most people would probably have a much harder time deciding for abortion.
Personally, I think that it is the parents' responsibilty to decide in such a matter (although late abortions do concern me). I think, however, that it's absolutely mandatory to inform the parents thoroughly enough to ensure that the decision they are about to make is well-considered. After all, it's not only of their concern, and they should be made to consider the consequences.
I guess that position would make me pro-choice.
