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.

Summary of Bill HR 722

Bill 119 HR 722, also known as the Life at Conception Act, aims to provide equal protection under the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution for the right to life of both born and preborn human individuals. The bill seeks to establish that life begins at conception and that all human beings, regardless of their stage of development, deserve legal protection.

If passed, this legislation would have significant implications for reproductive rights and abortion laws in the United States. Proponents of the bill argue that it is necessary to protect the rights of the unborn and ensure that they are treated as equal members of society. However, opponents of the bill argue that it would infringe on women's reproductive rights and could potentially lead to the criminalization of abortion.

The Life at Conception Act has sparked intense debate among lawmakers and advocacy groups, with both sides presenting strong arguments for and against the bill. It remains to be seen whether this legislation will gain enough support to pass in Congress and become law.

I don't get why they're pushing for this. Who really benefits from it anyway?
