The law has already determined a fetus to not be a “person” therefore has no rights.

That's the silly notion propated by Roe.

First, if you claim that any State has the right to declare the non-personhood of the "fetus," which simply means "child," you are agreeing with Roe, and have removed any moral or intellectual argument against Roe.

Secondly, if you take such a position, you have also removed any justification for any individual State to outlaw abortion.

In short, you are advocating for the status quo, as is any politician who takes this immoral and nonsensical position.

THAT is my point exactly.....once it is repealed then it goes to the States for a vote to see whether or not specific States will continue with or completly abolish the practice therein.

Furthermore, the idea of a fetus not being a person was not the main premise behind Roe Vs. Wade..It was a matter of Right to Privacy which I agree with. If the people of California “choose” to destroy their unborn along with their souls, I could care less. When any politician suggests that all States in the union warp the idea of “equal protection” to deny those same Californians their God-Given freedom and choice...I have an issue with it just as much as my issue with your argument suggesting we submit all “non-believers” to our will!
I agree with your stance on abortion....just not on your tactic to get it your way. I do believe that if there is to be a second civil war it will be over this topic. After all we are on the same side and will have to agree to disagree on the manner by which we go about our ultimate goal of abolishment.
p.s. Please try to contain a “holier-than-thou” response with the typical “God is the ultimate judge and you are on the wrong side.” God knows where my heart is in this battle and so do I!
