                       SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIFE ACT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PAUL C. BROUN

                               of georgia

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 7, 2011

  Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, today, I am honored to introduce 
as my first bill in the 112th Congress H.R. 212, the Sanctity of Human 
Life Act, with the support of 54 original cosponsors. My bill will 
simply define human life as beginning with fertilization and guarantees 
the constitutional right to life in each human being.
  The right to life is our most important fundamental right. 
Unfortunately, the judicial branch through court decisions has created 
a complex formula of when life can be taken. My bill makes clear that 
section two of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which prohibits 
any state from depriving any person of life without due process of law, 
affords the right to life of each human being at conception.
  As a physician, I know on the basis of medical and scientific 
evidence, that human life begins with fertilization, and I hope other 
Members of Congress will join me in supporting the Sanctity of Human 
Life Act.
