Unfortunately not.  I think there are only (at most) two votes for that right now (Thomas and Alito).  The best strategy for a nationwide abortion ban would be to have Congress pass it in 2025.  Realistically, that would require 60 pro-life Senators and a pro-life president.

I'd say there are 3 potentially Fetal Personhood justices (Thomas, Alito, and ACB) While obviously Brown-Jackson, Kagan, and Sotomayor are No Votes, Roberts is also (likely) a no vote and I think Kavanaugh who seems the closest to Roberts on the current court as a no, I think to get a Fetal personhood challenge through the court you'll need to wait until Roberts goes as long as he's replaced by someone more in line with the views of the conservative trio I mentioned in the first line. I personally find abortion abhorrent so I hope that this comes soon, hopefully President Trump/DeSantis appoints a Roberts successor in 2025 though Roberts looks very young for 67, but I think 20 years as Chief Justice and I feel like Roberts is the type to retire in his early 70s.
