You're right, the issue is very complex. The only way to resolve this issue is to remove all the morality from it and make it a scientific study to determine the feasibility of fetuses at given stages of development. If we can have them make a determination that a fetus can survive on its own at "week X" without technological intervention, and a reasonable (80%) chance of survival, then I think that is the best resolution to this argument. If we could all agree on this, and abide by the findings, I think we would all be able to put this mess behind us. Sad thing is, there is one group I know for certain that will not.

What if the science says something like Week X is 15.
Neither side is happy.
The pro-life group is never happy because they want no abortions period.
The pro-choice group will not be happy because a women should get to choose, period.
