A child isn't an adult. Any point in a person's life is arguably a phase in human development.
But personhood, in the legal sense, occurs at birth. (And this is regardless of immaturity.) It appears that a state may be able to move it back to some point in utero. But that will only apply within the state. For the unborn to have the legal status of personhood, with 14th Amendment rights in all the states, will require amending the Constitution.
