Self-defense of what?

The mother's bodily integrity; if I were to attempt to do to Jane Doe what pregnancy and childbirth do to a woman, she would be legally justified in killing me to prevent it.

That would be the rapist, not an innocent baby.

Apllying the statute to anti-abortion protestors was a scam from the get-go. The Clintonistas always knew the supremes would have to overturn them, but they also knew the process would take years. In the meantime, dedicated pro-lifers have been harassed, bankrupted, intimidated and destroyed by liberal criminals abusing the power of their office. I hope those crooks can now receive the same treatment through the court system. Payback is a bitch!

False premise. A person can justify killing another person in self defense if they believe they are in danger of being killed themselves. In the vast majority of cases, childbirth and pregnacy do not result in death.
