It’s time for the United States Congress to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves and pass permanent federal legislation that will protect the most innocent of lives.
Pass permanent federal legislation that protects life from conception.
Occurrences
Evidence
Carter states that life starts at conception and says Congress should "pass permanent federal legislation" protecting the most innocent of lives. He also says he is a proud cosponsor of the Sanctity of Human Life Act, which "protects life from conception."
Congress.gov lists Rep. Earl L. "Buddy" Carter as an original cosponsor of H.R.877, the Sanctity of Human Life Act, whose summary says human life begins with fertilization. The bill's latest action is referral to the House Subcommittee; it did not advance to enactment.
Congress.gov shows H.R.722 declares that the right to life is vested at the moment of fertilization, but its latest action is only referral to the House Judiciary Committee after introduction.
Assessments
Carter publicly promised/supports permanent federal legislation protecting life from conception and took concrete legislative action by cosponsoring measures such as the Sanctity of Human Life Act/Life at Conception Act. However, the cited bills were referred to committees or subcommittees and did not become enacted permanent federal law. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but the promised outcome was not delivered, the appropriate outcome is never with effort_badge=true.
