The states have codified the unborn as persons.

It doesn't matter what individual states have done. Individual states don't get to define who a person is for the purposes of the 14th amendment - its a constitutional issue.

Really? Will SCOTUS overturn Petersons conviction for murdering his unborn son?

Does the Constituion constrain states from expanding individual rights?

When SCOTUS upheld the non personhood of black folk in Dred Scott, were they correct and within their power to do so?
