81. Maybe you should read a little more closely

"XI.1.(c) For the stage subsequent to viability, the State in promoting its interest in the potentiality of human life may, if it chooses, regulate, and even proscribe, abortion except where it is necessary, in appropriate medical judgment, for the preservation of the life or health of the mother."

This passage talks about a 3rd trimester fetus as life in potential.

The verdict in this case declared a 3rd trimester fetus to be more than life in potential. It deemed it a person, with the same legal standing as a life in being.
