Bill Summary
A bill to implement equal protection under the 14th article of amendment to the Constitution for the right to life of each born and preborn human person.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Life at Conception Act of 2013," aims to ensure equal protection under the Fourteenth Article of Amendment to the Constitution for the right to life of all human beings, from conception to birth. It defines "human person" and "human being" to include every member of the species *homo sapiens* from the moment of fertilization, cloning, or any other point of origin, and clarifies that the term "State" includes the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. The bill asserts Congress's authority to enact such protections, drawing on its powers under Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, and explicitly states that it does not require the prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child.
