Fetal personhood isn’t a thing, and conservatives don’t want to go their either. If fetal personhood exists, getting in an accident and causing a miscarriage is now manslaughter. No one is advocating for that, so no one is advocating that fetuses are people deserving of the rights of a person.
Exactly. Fetal personhood opens up an entirely different can of worms. Some ladies have successfully made the argument that being pregnant permits them to use the carpool lane while on the freeway. There’s also the possibility of taking out a life insurance policy, collecting back child support, etc.
The point is Roe v. Wade was always on shaky ground and we’re finally getting to a place where real laws are being made instead of being legislated from the bench.
