I agree with the many others who have posted, that the key issue here is the notion of when life really begins. Personally I do not know enough about the science of it to claim one way or another if humans have conciousness and faculties of thought before birth, but I am inclined to believe that they don't.
Since there is no concrete evidence supporting this issue in either direction, I think to destroy a woman's ability to choose is an unconstitutional violation of her rights. While some may argue that abortion is a form of murder, I do not think this claim can be made with the lack of substantial scientific evidence to support this, and that there is simply too much room for interpretation with this issue as a whole.
Using your 'moral' grounds/religious beliefs to limit the actions of another is unconstitutional according to the founding fathers, and I stand by that notion.
Just my thoughts.
