The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to decide whether fetuses are entitled to constitutional rights in light of its June ruling overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that had legalized abortion nationwide, steering clear for now of another front in America's culture wars.
The justices turned away an appeal by a Catholic group and two women of a lower court's ruling holding that fetuses lacked the proper legal standing to challenge a 2019 state law codifying the right to abortion in line with the Roe precedent. The two women, pregnant at the time when the case was first filed, sued on behalf of their fetuses and later gave birth.

Give them credit, they took a big step in the right direction. Wars are rarely one in a single battle.
That would be hard to find in the US Constitution. But not in the Declaration of Independence. Alas, the latter is not law.
Case law of double homicide when killing a pregnant woman would be a strong argument, one would think.
Why are they cowards. Anything related to abortion belongs in the state courts.
Roe v Wade was overturned because the USSC turned the decision back to individual states.
It follows that other decisions like this would also be the right of the individual states.
Who was involved in the decision ???
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
When a heart stops a person is declared dead. When a heart starts a person ought to be declared alive!!!!!
and yet an eagle’s egg (a fetus) has rights for life ...
The Declaration is law, but the part you are referring to is the preamble of the law.
Seems a shame to finally get the abortion issue out of the federal hands with the erasing of Roe just to put it back by changing the wording of the old status of defining a fetus. The courts declaration a few months ago should not be “pieced” back into focus and should be left within the states as established in the Constitution. I applaud the SC for not hearing the case so anything concerning abortion can be re-established back into the feds. Too many decisions of the higher level courts have been used to misapply standards they are not supposed to be dipping their decisions into like abortion that has taken 50 years to correct and relieve the document of that decision.

Plus IF this is what people want then elect legislators that will pass such a bill
Exactly
It’s not solely about abortion , but about defining what is meant by the term human. Actually the science is on the side of personhood. Not only DNA but the fact that no human female has ever given birth to a non human. So the Court does have jurisdiction. In the past of course the Court did not recognize the personhood of Blacks in Dred Scott.
Ultimately the problems of abortion originate in the hearts and minds of those who promote and support it. To want to kill innocent babies comes from spiritual darkness, blindness and ghoulish intentions for profit and power. That there are so many who fit this description is both astonishing and troubling. Hell sucks but many are choosing it.
Yep! The left wing mafia Nazis took care of that! In the world of sick demonic EVIL people this is how it’s done to bring your enemies to their knees!
A bunch of chickens.
Intimidated by the baby killing terror lobby....
It’s time for Congress to redefine “legal standing”.
