My memory of the exact wording of Roe v. Wade, was that (paraphrasing), "this decision makes no determination on the status of the embryo as a human person. If such status can be determined," then ... Roe v. Wade is invalidated.

Section IX of R v Wade, would seem to firmly decide against "personhood." But? There may be been some qualifications on that.

While in any case? If the legislatures (state and/or fed?) stipulate the embryo is a person? Then ... Roe vs. Wade collapses by legislative fiat?
