Yes -- you hit the nail on the head by noting that allowing women to sue for child support is really a surreptitious way to establish fetal personhood, and once that's established in law we are done-for. We are walking dual-legal entities before we know we're even pregnant, and worse.
I wonder if the states that do want to protect women (free states, pro-choice states - whatever we want to call them) ought to be adding language to their constitutions explicitly stating that a fetus is NOT a person, just to be safe. Because the only thing keeping us having a chance out of the abyss is that for all the states engaging in this monstrous behavior, there are also states that (at least intend to) do the exact opposite. That counterbalance is absolutely vital and is why it's critical to keep pressure on blue states.
