## Summary

**Recognizes a constitutional right to life for every human being, including preborn persons from fertilization or cloning.** This bill would say Congress can use its Article I powers and the 14th Amendment to extend equal protection to preborn people across the United States and its territories. - Pregnant people: The bill would declare embryos and fetuses as "human persons" and say the constitutional right to life applies from fertilization or cloning. - Reproductive patients and providers: It expressly states it would not require prosecuting a woman for the death of her unborn child and would not ban in vitro fertilization or use of birth control or other means of preventing fertilization. - States and territories: The bill defines "State" to include the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other territories and frames federal authority to apply the 14th Amendment's equal protection to preborn persons.
