Bill 118 HR 431, also known as the Life at Conception Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the United States Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to establish that human life begins at the moment of conception and to provide legal protections for unborn children.

The bill seeks to recognize the rights of unborn children as individuals with the same rights and protections as any other person. This includes the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The bill also aims to prohibit abortion in all circumstances, except when the life of the mother is at risk.

Supporters of the Life at Conception Act argue that it is necessary to protect the rights of unborn children and to uphold the sanctity of life. They believe that abortion is a violation of human rights and that all life should be valued and protected. Opponents of the bill argue that it infringes on women's reproductive rights and could lead to dangerous consequences for women seeking abortions. They believe that the decision to terminate a pregnancy should be left to the individual and their healthcare provider, rather than being dictated by the government. Overall, the Life at Conception Act is a controversial piece of legislation that has sparked debate on both sides of the political spectrum. It remains to be seen whether the bill will gain enough support to pass in Congress and become law.
