You are a flaming fool, those rights are enumerated and protected against actions of the federal gov't.The Bill of Rights does NOT protect any rights at all.
If it did, then slavery would have been abolished by it.
The only intent of the Bill of Rights was to limit the federal government.
Look at the first amendment as an example.
{...
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
...}
Clearly that does NOT protect any individual rights.
It only limits the federal government.
And in fact, at the time of the US Constitution being written and approved, there were states with their own religion, like Pennsylvania and Connecticut.
Personhood is irrelevant. The point is you can NOT enslave a woman over a fetus.
No one has standing to override the woman's rights.
Each state constitution has a similar bill or declaration of protected rights.
Nature does not enslave women, a woman's natural role biologically is to bear children.
If she doesn't want to bear children, she has a duty to take measures to prevent getting pregnant in the first place.
Once she's pregnant, there's another human life to consider that is also entitled to the protections of the state.
