LIFE AT CONCEPTION ACT



Obamacare has taken a few hits on its Socialist/Communist agenda of forcing abortions (first by mandatory funding, eventually via administrative "panel" decision) and the unborn are starting to be legally defined as constitutionally-protected persons.  Virginia and North Dakota and several other states have introduced or passed legislation to declare the unborn as persons protected under the Constitution.  We the People need to DEMAND that Congress pass a (federal) Life at Conception Act (See https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/115/s231), which would define human life to be a legally-recognized person at conception and thus constitutionally-protected.  We also need to DEMAND that our State Representatives and Senators PASS (not just introduce) such legislation.
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.  Virginia, North Dakota and Alabama have passed legislation declaring that the right to life begins at conception.  We also need every state to pass such an act and federal legislation guaranteeing the constitutionally-protected right to life for the unborn.  If you needed a political reason, people are outraged at Planned Parenthood being exposed for selling aborted-baby body parts and now is a good time to pass a Life at Conception Act.  As a representative of We the People your cooperation in passing the Life at Conception Act is expected and appreciated.
