Life at Conception Act

Posted by Eric at 5:33 pm. Filed under: Abortion, Courts / Legal

There is a campaign underway to renew the focus on defining life as having begun at conception. The bill (HR 552) introduced back in Feb ‘05 is here. The Prolife Alliance has an interesting summary of why this would end abortion on demand without a constitutional ammendment.

When the Supreme Court handed down its now-infamous Roe v. Wade decision, it did so based on a new, previously undefined “right of privacy” which it “discovered” in so-called “emanations” of “penumbrae” of the Constitution.

Of course, as constitutional law it was a disaster. But never once did the Supreme Court declare abortion itself to be a Constitutional right.

Instead the Supreme Court said:

“We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. . . the judiciary at this point in the development of man’s knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer.”

Then the High Court made a key admission:

“If this suggestion of personhood is established, the appellant’s case [i.e. “Roe” who sought the abortion], of course, collapses, for the fetus’ right to life is then guaranteed by the [14th] Amendment.”

That’s exactly what a Life at Conception Act would do.
