Pro-life advocates argue that fetuses are people from the moment of conception and have the same fundamental “right to life” before birth as humans have after birth. Many of these advocates want to give “personhood” rights to the unborn. They say that when these rights are given to a class of human beings, they are protected by a series of constitutional guarantees including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These rights would, of course, preclude the possibility of abortion. Pro-choice advocates claim fetuses are not people and it is improper to award constitutional rights to a fetus.
Pending Legislation: H.R.431 - Life at Conception Act
Sponsor: Rep. Alexander Mooney (WV)
Status: House Committee on the Judiciary
Chair: Rep. Jim Jordan (OH)

- I oppose reforming current right to life policy and wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Speaker Kevin McCarthy (CA).
- I support:
1.) Declaring the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being at all stages of life, including the moment of fertilization, cloning or other moment at which an individual comes into being.
2.) Declaring that nothing in this bill shall be construed to require the prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child, a prohibition on in vitro fertilization, or a prohibition on use of birth control or another means of preventing fertilization.
And wish to donate resources to the campaign committee of Rep. Jim Jordan (OH) and/or to an advocate group currently working with this issue.
