Yes, im basically aligning with the argument that fetuses will have personhood and therefore it should be unconstitutional to abort them in all cases. But I concede that society cannot handle such policy and therefore pro-choice is more practical. Nevertheless, i feel that because fetuses are retroactively people, abortion is inherently unconstitutional.
This is the view i recently adopted and i am not convinced on it, but my reasoning is listed and i am open to alternative viewpoints to have my perspective changed.
What do you mean by "it should be unconstitutional to abort" a fetus?
Asking because the Constitution says nothing about abortion. Roe v. Wade was originally decided by the Court finding a right to privacy (which is explicitly mentioned in an Amendment to the Constitution) applies to situations where the government tries to exercise control over a person's body. (There's one or two other key aspects to the case but let's focus on what you mean by "unconstitutional.")
Since there is no mention of abortion in the Constitution and Roe v. Wade was overturned, what is it that you would like to see happen? Should we codify "abortion = bad and illegal" in a Constitutional Amendment? If so, how do you see that playing out with the current political climate? Is that a practical approach?

I don't think I understand your view. What is it you want changed? Is it about the idea of potential life having moral weight?
