I have a hard time believing it is ever ok to take another's life, whether they're 15 weeks in the womb, 16 weeks, 9 months, or 80 years after birth.

What, just because they can't really feel anything at 10 weeks it's suddenly more okay than a month later? Not only does it make no sense to me, but it's also a very slippery slope. When you start discussing "degrees of personhood", it turns everything into an entirely subjective debate, that ultimately boils down to people believing they have the right to decide the fate of others. Should we allow the euthenisation of mentally handicapped individuals because they may not know what's really going on, and it'll be over quick? It's all the same in my eyes. You're taking control of the lives of weaker individuals for personal gain, and it's only a matter of where you're willing to draw the line.

Outside of self-defense/manslaughter, these issues are very black and white for me. Abortion, in a majority of cases, is wrong.
