To amend title 18, United States Code, to protect unborn children.

Bill 118 hr 8855, also known as the Unborn Child Protection Act, aims to amend title 18 of the United States Code in order to provide legal protections for unborn children. The bill seeks to recognize the rights of unborn children and ensure that they are afforded the same legal protections as born individuals.

Specifically, the bill includes provisions that would make it a crime to harm or kill an unborn child during the commission of a federal offense. This would apply in cases where a pregnant woman is the victim of a crime and her unborn child is also harmed or killed as a result.

The bill also includes provisions that would allow for civil remedies to be pursued in cases where an unborn child is harmed or killed as a result of negligence or wrongful conduct. This would provide a legal avenue for justice to be sought on behalf of the unborn child and their family. Overall, the Unborn Child Protection Act seeks to ensure that unborn children are recognized as individuals with legal rights and protections under the law. It aims to prevent harm to unborn children and hold those responsible for such harm accountable for their actions.
