I was specifically thinking about the high percentage of the vote that Trump got in the recent South Carolina primaries from voters with high school or less education, along with Evangelicals having the highest level of opposition to trans rights and highest level of belief in young-earth creationism.

The very first line of the ruling says:

This Court has long held that unborn children are "children" for purposes of Alabama's Wrongful Death of a Minor Act...

The central question presented in these consolidated appeals, which involve the death of embryos kept in a cryogenic nursery, is whether the Act contains an unwritten exception to that rule for extrauterine children -- that is, unborn children who are located outside of a biological uterus at the time they are killed.

So it didn't rule on whether they were "persons", it ruled on whether they were "children", since the specific law in question is about children.
