Nonsense.

The appellee and certain amici argue that the fetus is a "person" within the language and meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. In support of this, they outline at length and in detail the well known facts of fetal development. If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant's case, of course, collapses, [p157] for the fetus' right to life would then be guaranteed specifically by the Amendment. The appellant conceded as much on reargument.
-- Roe v. Wade
In the opinion of Roe v. Wade itself Justice Blackmun flatly declares that you can't kill a person or declare a person to be a nonperson in order to kill it.
