The vast majority of homeless in Anchorage are Native Alaskans.
Hence, they exist. And therefore, they were born. Thusly, they're homeless because there are more of them than the world wants. You really cannot wiggle your way out of common sense.
That seems to be a very short step from that sentiment to outright defense of genocide.

Medical science has advanced since Roe v Wade was put into effect.
Maybe, but viability is the threshold of balance between the personhood of the woman and the state's interest in the protection of potential life.

I would venture a guess that even most conservative women want a choice. The GOP doing a happy dance might be a tad premature.
Come election time the abortion debate has never worked in the Republicans favor.

There is a way around every law.
For instance with this law: okay, nobody performs abortions anymore in Alabama.
Unintended consequence? Smuggling of 'chemo' type drugs to end pregnancy chemically.
Ugly stuff there, but you can be sure the black market will pick up the slack where the legal market ends.
That happens every time....

SoOo... when pregnant, a woman loses her "personhood?"
She loses the status of being a person?
No, but a law taking away her free choice essentially causes her to lose her "personhood."

That won't happen. Let's be rational here, even I with my staunch anti-abortion positions realizes that politicians operate under a separate set of rules and laws from the rest of us. Their daughters will either be flown out of country/state (likely at tax payer expense) or the law will be bent in their cases to ensure they can do as they wish. That's bread and butter of every politician, from the right side to the left side (example being Dianne Feinstein packing a CCW since Harvey Milk's assassination despite being fervently in favor of outlawing firearm possession among we pleebs of the country.)

I think you're sowing ridiculous overreactions there.

When using the term "viability" in this situation, it should be the viability of the child being born normally.
