Congressman Eric Burlison introduces the ‘Life at Conception Act’ – Newstalk KZRG
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Eric Burlison introduced the Life at Conception Act, to affirm the fundamental right to life for every human being, born and unborn. This landmark legislation declares that unborn children are “persons” under the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, allowing their right to life to be legally recognized and protected.
“Every life is a sacred gift from God, deserving of dignity and protection from the moment of conception,” said Congressman Burlison. “The Life at Conception Act uses Congress’ constitutional authority to define personhood, fulfilling our moral and legal obligation to safeguard the lives of the unborn.“
The 14th Amendment states, “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.” The Life at Conception Act ensures this promise applies to the unborn, recognizing them as persons with equal protection under the law.
Congressman Burlison pointed out that the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturned Roe v. Wade but left unresolved the vital question of personhood. “This Act fills that gap by making it clear that unborn children are human beings entitled to protection under the Constitution,” he said.
Medical advances in recent decades have only strengthened the case for life beginning at conception. Science confirms that a unique human life begins at fertilization, with distinct DNA, a heartbeat that can be detected as early as five weeks, and measurable brain activity by eight weeks.
The Life at Conception Act has garnered support from legal experts, medical professionals, and pro-life advocates nationwide.
“I am strongly pro-life and will always fight to protect the lives of the unborn,” said Burlison. “My record is clear, both in Missouri and Washington, D.C., I have consistently voted to protect the life of the child and the health of the mother. I will continue to do so moving forward.”
