I thought in Roe v Wade the Supreme Court legalized abortion until the fetus was "viable". With medical technology being what it is, this ruling seems consistent with Roe v Wade.

Maybe it will qualify as cruel and unusual punishment ???

I prefer the 5th amendment approach; “...(no person shall) be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”

Define the fetus as a person and demand that they have the same due process rights as anyone else who is facing a capital crime. And when the legal decision on each case is resolved by the courts in 5-20 years as it is with other capital cases, I guess the point will be moot.
