With all due respect (considerable respect), I disagree. Where is “personhood” defined in the 14th Amendment other than in being a broader category than citizen? Give the definition.

[William Terrell]

Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The first clause defines a person. The SC made that clause the definition of a person when they said the right to an abortion was in the 9th amendment purviewed through the 14th.

The other clauses reinforce the citizen as a person, and specifies the action a government cannot take against a citizen or a person.

None of them is accessible to an unborn baby, who is not a "person" as defined by the 14th amendment.

I, personally, don't agree, but it is those who said all that who will decide if a statute is constitutional or not.

It appears to me that the court, as they ruled in Roe, can't rule a statute defining a person constitutional, unless it is ready to dump Roe completely.
