Life at Conception Act

This proposal says that the constitutional right to life applies to every human being from the very start of life. It defines “human being” to include each member of the human species at all stages, starting at fertilization or any other moment when a new individual begins, including cloning. It also clarifies that it does not allow prosecuting a woman for the death of her unborn child. The coverage applies across the United States, including Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and other territories.

Key points:

• Declares a right to life for every human being from the moment life begins, including fertilization and cloning.
• States that women cannot be prosecuted under this act for the death of their unborn child.
• Applies nationwide, including D.C., Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories.
