Summary of Bill HR 407

Bill 118 HR 407, also known as the Protect the UNBORN Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered in the United States Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to protect unborn children by prohibiting abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, except in cases where the life of the mother is at risk.

The bill includes provisions that require healthcare providers to determine the gestational age of the fetus before performing an abortion, and to provide medical care to the fetus if it is determined to be viable. It also includes penalties for healthcare providers who violate the provisions of the bill, including fines and potential imprisonment.

Supporters of the Protect the UNBORN Act argue that it is necessary to protect the rights of unborn children and to prevent late-term abortions. They believe that a fetus is a human being with rights that should be protected by law. Opponents of the bill argue that it infringes on a woman's right to choose and could potentially harm women's health by limiting access to safe and legal abortions. They also argue that the bill is based on flawed science and could lead to unnecessary suffering for women and families. Overall, the Protect the UNBORN Act is a controversial piece of legislation that has sparked debate among lawmakers and the public. It remains to be seen whether it will be passed into law.
