Abortion in the States

Check out these two diverging, recent headlines from Life Site News.

"Mississippi bill would classify abortion as murder"

"UPDATED: Virginia Senate votes to force taxpayer-funded abortions"

When Roe v. Wade (1973; created abortion right in US) is overturned, it's been said that abortion rights will be determined by each state. From the headlines above, it sure looks like that.

I'm wondering if this is actually not the case. Roe had a sentence about personhood of the preborn (unborn). If personhood is established for the preborn, the fourteenth amendment would protect the preborn from elective abortion death under the due process clause (no taking of life or liberty without due process of law). I wonder if the constitutional conservatives will remember this and actually make abortion itself illegal in all fifty states. I wonder.
