Who should decide which others are worthy of personhood?
Certainly not the same Supreme Court that gave us the Dred Scott decision.
The denial of personhood is a Constitutional end-around by which all other rights are denied.
The sole reason for a yet to be born child to be deemed a non-person, per Roe, for a matter of 4-5 months is to provide opportunity for abortion on demand during that period.
No fundamental changes occur to the physiology of this child following this 4-5 month period except that lung development reaches a point at which the child may survive outside the womb.
This as the sole criteria for making a child a person under the law with all the rights and privileges afforded to any other person or an item of biological refuse to be disposed of at will and is a classic example of a decision being made in advance and the facts and those facts then being made to fit the decision.
The inconsistencies of the non-person argument are too numerous and prevalent for anything else to be the case.
Logic indicates that this life which is biologically distinct from both the father and the mother becomes so at the moment of conception and at no other time between conception and natural death does any other biological metamorphosis of that sort take place.
In this we know where on body ends and another begins because the DNA of each person is unique.
How the Court managed to ignore this and other related biological facts betrays their true intentions from the start.
In the case of Scott, what a person was (African-American) determined their status as a person.
There was no compelling reason for this to be the case except that it was a matter of convenience for those wishing to deny an entire class of individuals their most fundamental rights.
You try to make the issue so complicated. If you woke up tomorrow with the ability to get pregnant, could we trust you not to make it too complicated to avoid indulging in sexual intercourse, unless you wanted to help take care of a baby?
Which some abortion extremists apparently don't like.
killing babies is infanticide and illegal.
most abortions happen in the first trimester, second trimester abortions are 10% of total of abortions and only 1% for late term. a woman's choice is hers to make.

Doesn't take away the fact that they don't want restrictions against last trimester abortions are killing babies.
As a member of our society my opinion does matter when you are talking about taking an innocent life. You might believe a mother has the right to go smother her premie asleep in the crib, but society says no.
Then do you quite strongly believe that a law must be passed requiring all pregnant women to give birth?
Trump recently called the foundation, co-founded in 2002 by Hillary Clinton, Trump’s rival in the presidential contest, the “most corrupt enterprise in political history.” Yet he is listed on the foundation’s website among donors who’ve given it $100,000 to $250,000.
The foundation would not disclose when Trump made the donation, but Trump’s campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, confirmed it, telling CNN on Wednesday that the foundation “does a lot of good work.”

I asked you this before but you didn't answer the question.
Can you show us one piece of proposed legislation by a pro-choice legislator that tried to make abortion on demand legal in the third trimester?
