That's up to the states to determine.

Oh, really? Is it up to the states to decide if the law of gravity exists, too? A fetus is a life that arises from human reproduction and if left alone will become a little boy or girl. To say that it is not a person is on the order of saying that thunder is the sound of God bowling.

But, OK, let's go with your legal angle. The state where you live decides that bipeds who have screen names beginning with the letter L are not humans and therefore have no protection under the 14th Amendment. They issue permits allowing people to hunt them and get a $500 bounty. You'd be OK with that, it would be perfectly legal?

You know that if Roe is overturned, all that happens is that the legal decisions on abortion go to the individual states. You know some states would protect the legality of abortion, so a huge change would have to be made at the federal level which would acknowledge all the legal rights of personhood to the unborn, for the first time in American law. That has a lot of potential "unintended consequences", and I wonder if there is any chance that would happen.

You're comparing a physical natural law to an alleged metaphysical natural law. They really can't be compared. But yes, just like Indiana at one point said that Pi is as small as 3, that should be allowed.

You're wrong. I assure you, if you take the fetus out of the female body and 'leave it alone', nothing will happen.

I'm not sure that would be allowed, since I'm indisputably a human being, while it is still under discussion at what point life beings. However, you're free to argue your point in my state, but I doubt that you will succeed.
