Abortion opponents who are trying to push "stand your ground" and "personhood" rights for fetuses don't realize it, but this "logic" contains within it a justification for abortion at any time because a pregnancy is an attack on the pregnant woman by the fetus and she is allowed to protect herself again anyone attacking her. If a fetus is declared a person that can be seen to exercise a "stand your ground" defense, then so can the pregnant woman by standing her ground against the attack of the fetus. And, it would be constitutional under the equal protection clause.
