No, no, that's what happens during birth.
But really, bodily autonomy is a rights issue, and putting the "stopping point" on abortions anywhere before brain activity is silly. We're allowed to remove people from life support if they are in a persistent vegetative state already, so at "best" it's no different from that. At "worst", up until fetal viability, I see no reason to force someone to keep something inside of them that they don't want to have inside of them.
Something being illegal before the passing of an amendment doesn't keep that amendment from applying to it.
There are no semantics to this issue. Either it affects you or it doesn't. If you are not a pregnant woman, it does NOT affect you and you have no say in it unless the pregnant woman asks for your help.

Fuck you, my body, my choice to remove anything from it that I want to.
And? Impeachment doesn't negate prior decisions. SCOTUS rulings have force of precedent, the ONLY way to change them is to get SCOTUS to straight-up admit that they made an error, or have Congress change the underlying law (in this case, that means an Amendment to the Constitution).
It really isn't odd at all. Unless the State can show a compelling State interest, they have no business getting involved in medical decisions. That's the right to privacy.And Roe V. Wade was a very odd decision, I don't care if you are pro abortion it was a weird decision. I fail to see how abortion is a privacy issue(but tapping every phone and email isnt). Abortion was also illegal when the 14th amendment was passed, so not quite sure the logic in how it suddenly guarantees a right to abortion.
If there's any oddity to the decision, it's how it stops halfway in guaranteeing these rights. In Canada, by way of comparison, there's no abortion legislation whatsoever. It's a medical decision, between a doctor and his patient, and the government has no say in that decision outside ensuring the basic standards of medical care and safety.
I don't care what you agree with or not when it comes to what I remove from my own body. Deal with it.

I don't care if I was removing Jesus Christ himself, you have no say in what I remove from MY body. Unless you want me to have a say in what you remove from your body!
It's also your choice not to use contraceptives. If you want to play Russian Roulette , you should pay the consequences. It's called being responsible. We could always settle this like they do in the middle east countries and just stone women for no good reason, that would settle all this. Liberals love taking money from countries that abuse women and homosexuals, why not just adopt their standard of living.
Wonder what the venn diagram is of people who think abortion should be illegal but who also think a property owner should be able to evict non-paying tenants.
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

No not really deal with it when you're killing potential life. Are you one of those people that thinks its okay to get an abortion whenever you want during the pregnancy? That's ridiculous. Some states don't allow abortion past 20 weeks. Which is reasonable but I'm willing to say you can't get one past the third trimester which is about 28 weeks in, which is what it currently is I believe. Any later than that and you should only be able to get one because of an emergency health issue that affects the mother.
It's ridiculous to expect to be able to get one right before birth which is what I'm suspecting you're arguing for. This bill is atrocious and I'm hoping it's struck down. But screaming "FUCK YOU MY BODY MY CHOICE" doesn't solve a thing and makes people shake their head.
So this is your logical progression, Denying abortion is promoting and legalizing rape? It sounds like you are correlating the two to be one in the same. So the only thing stopping men from raping women more often is because the woman can get an abortion?
I guess I can see why you want to do bad things to lawmakers like this, you are basically saying his is raping you and all women.
