Federal Right to Life Guaranteed from the Moment of Fertilization
This Act seeks to extend the constitutional right to life under the 14th Amendment to every human being, including the preborn person starting from the moment of fertilization. While establishing personhood from conception, the bill explicitly states it does not mandate prosecuting women for the death of an unborn child, nor does it prohibit in vitro fertilization (IVF) or the use of birth control that prevents fertilization. Citizens should note that this legislation changes the federal definition of a legal person, potentially having broad legal implications.
