            By Mr. BROUN of Georgia:
        H.R. 23.
        Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       To accompany: Section 5 of the 14th article of Amendment to 
     the Constitution of the United States, which states ``The 
     Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate 
     legislation, the provisions of this article.'' Section one of 
     this article states ``. . . nor shall any State deprive any 
     person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of 
     law. . .''
       The Sanctity of Human Life Act allows for constitutional 
     protection for the unborn that they not ``be deprived of 
     life, liberty, or property, without due process of the law'' 
     afforded under the 5th Amendment.
