It's worth noting that, in his decision in Roe v. Wade, Justice Blackmun acknowledged that if the unborn children are "persons" than they enjoy full constitutional rights.

Blackmun bought the argument that unborn babies are not persons; however, there is NOTHING to stop a future Court decision from reversing this.

The reality is that there have been incredible advances in pre-natal medicine and the care of premature babies. The definition of a "viable" fetus is completely different than it was in 1973 and there is every reason to believe that there will be even more advances in the years to come.
