           By Mrs. BACHMANN:
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       As human beings capable of exhibiting detectible heartbeats 
     through the most modern medical technology, the unborn are 
     granted the right to due process under Section 1 of the 14th 
     Amendment of the United States Constitution which explicitly 
     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; nor 
     deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal 
     protection of the laws.''
