[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Amendment V: "No person shall... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law..."

Still, I would settle for making it a state issue.

So what they need is a ruling to determine how developed a fetus needs to be to have unalienable rights. They can do that with a constitutional amendment.

That would be my preference. But I am always against new laws prohibiting or regulating things unless absolutely necessary, and would oppose a law against abortion because it is unneeded. All a government has to do is define a fetus as a person protected under the law, and we already have laws to handle murder, plus a couple other definitions and we're set.

For this same reason I oppose laws against cell phones in cars. We already have punishments for inattentive driving.
