Congressman
Paul Broun |
January 7, 2011
Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, today, I am honored to introduce as
my first bill in the 112th Congress H.R. 212, the Sanctity of Human Life
Act, with the support of 54 original cosponsors. My bill will simply
define human life as beginning with fertilization and guarantees the
constitutional right to life in each human being.
The right to life is our most important fundamental right.
Unfortunately, the judicial branch through court decisions has created a
complex formula of when life can be taken. My bill makes clear that
section two of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which prohibits
any state from depriving any person of life without due process of law,
affords the right to life of each human being at conception.
As a physician, I know on the basis of medical and scientific evidence,
that human life begins with fertilization, and I hope other Members of
Congress will join me in supporting the Sanctity of Human Life ActBack
