Life at Conception Act

Obamacare has taken a few hits on the Socialist/Communist agenda of forcing abortions (first by mandatory funding, eventually via administrative "panel" decision) and the unborn are being legally defined as constitutionally-protected persons.  Virginia and North Dakota and Washington State and several other states have introduced/passed legislation to declare the unborn as persons protected under the Constitution.  We the People need to DEMAND that Congress pass the (federal) Life at Conception Act (See http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/s583), which would define human life to be a legally-recognized person at conception and thus constitutionally-protected.
Let's write to Congress!  (http://www.contactingthecongress.org/)

Dear Representative of We the People:

The decision in Roe vs. Wade, which permitted abortion, was founded on the reluctance to legally identify the unborn as persons protected by the Constitution of the United States.  The decision never declared the unborn were not persons, merely that the mother's preferences for her own body outweighed the claim to life of her legally-undefined unborn "fetus."  The decision framed the "choice" of pregnancy to be made after becoming pregnant instead of at the time of choosing to have sex, pregnancy being a foreseeable consequence.  The decision does not comprehensively control the legal rights of the unborn, and many criminal and civil laws and cases have prosecuted and compensated for the death of an unborn child.  The Roe vs. Wade decision has only been largely unchallenged and the legal status of the unborn undefined as to abortion. 

Recently, a decision by the Supreme Court of Alabama, Ankrom v. State, has ruled that the unborn are legally considered persons under the Constitution of the United States  from the moment of conception.  Washington State, Virginia, North Dakota and several other states have introduced/passed legislation declaring that the right to life begins at conception.  We also need federal legislation guaranteeing the constitutionally-protected right to life for the unborn.  If you needed a political reason, now is a good time to pass the Life at Conception Act.  As a representative of We the People your cooperation in passing the Life at Conception Act is expected and appreciated.
