Bill > S3667

This bill, titled the "Life at Conception Act of 2026," declares that the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in every human being from the moment of fertilization or cloning, defining "human person" and "human being" to include all stages of life. It asserts Congress's authority under the Constitution, specifically the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause, to implement this right for both born and preborn individuals, and clarifies that this Act does not mandate the prosecution of women for the death of their unborn children, nor does it prohibit in vitro fertilization, birth control, or other methods of preventing fertilization. The bill also specifies that for the purposes of applying constitutional provisions, the term "State" includes the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. territories and possessions.
