Short answer, no. The very first line of the 14th amendment says: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” Note the word BORN.
Even Mississippi defeated a referendum on fetal “personhood” in 20ll. Nonetheless, many anti-abortion supporters are pushing for this. Remember that if Roe v. Wade is overturned, individual states may still provide for legal abortions. If you think the anti-abortion activists will be satisfied with legal abortions in a number of U.S. states, think again.
(I just realized that last night I took on the gun crazies and tonight the anti-abortion fanatics. I think tomorrow I’ll defend euthanizing feral cats.)
