Protect the UNBORN Act

Bill 117 HR 8835, also known as the Protect the UNBORN Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of protecting unborn fetuses from harm. The bill seeks to establish legal protections for fetuses at all stages of development, recognizing them as separate and distinct entities deserving of rights and protections under the law.

The Protect the UNBORN Act includes provisions that would make it a criminal offense to harm or kill an unborn fetus through acts of violence or negligence. This would apply in cases where a pregnant woman is assaulted or harmed, resulting in harm or death to the fetus. The bill also seeks to establish penalties for healthcare providers who perform abortions or provide services that result in harm to a fetus.

Additionally, the bill includes measures to provide support and resources for pregnant women, including access to prenatal care, counseling, and other services aimed at promoting the health and well-being of both the mother and the unborn child. The bill also includes provisions for education and awareness campaigns aimed at promoting the value of unborn life and the importance of protecting the rights of the unborn. Overall, the Protect the UNBORN Act is a controversial piece of legislation that has sparked debate among lawmakers and the public. Supporters argue that it is necessary to protect the rights of unborn fetuses and prevent harm to them, while opponents argue that it infringes on women's reproductive rights and could have unintended consequences for healthcare providers and pregnant women. The bill is currently under consideration in Congress, where it will be subject to further debate and potential amendments before a final vote.
