Life at Conception Act of 2026

This legislation seeks to implement equal protection under the 14th Amendment for the right to life of every born and preborn human person, asserting that the constitutional right to life is vested in each human being. It defines "human person" and "human being" to include all members of the species homo sapiens at all stages of life, beginning from the moment of fertilization or cloning. Crucially, the bill specifies that it should not be construed to require the prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child. Additionally, it clarifies that it does not prohibit in vitro fertilization or the use of birth control or other means of preventing fertilization.
