Life at Conception Act — Affirms constitutional protections for unborn children under the Fourteenth Amendment.
Affirm constitutional protections for unborn children under the Fourteenth Amendment.
Occurrences
Evidence
Rep. Burlison’s office says the Life at Conception Act "declares that unborn children are 'persons' under the 14th Amendment."
Congress.gov lists H.R. 722 as introduced and referred to Judiciary; the bill is still in "Introduced" status.
Assessments
Burlison introduced the Life at Conception Act, which sought to define unborn children as persons under the 14th Amendment, but the bill remained only introduced and was not enacted. That is a serious attempt, but the promised constitutional protection was not actually delivered.
