BCC has a preview on next month’s Ensign and it sounds interesting.
“The human mind has presumed to determine when “meaningful life” begins. In the course of my studies as a medical doctor, I learned that a new life begins when two special cells unite to become one cell, bringing together 23 chromosomes from the father and 23 from the mother. . . To legislate when a developing life is considered “meaningful” is presumptive and quite arbitrary, in my opinion.”
Elder Russell M. Nelson, “Abortion: An Assault on the Defenseless,” October 2008 Ensign (not yet available online).

Life begins at conception! Is this to be taken as a statement of church policy (since it goes against previously stated policy, which is to not take a stand on the question), or personal opinion?

That is the question. It will be an interesting read.
