Representative Paul Broun (Georgia) has introduced legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives to define life as beginning at fertilization. The bill lays the foundation for further legislation protecting the preborn. “It says this is a human being, and that human being has all the protections under the law,” Broun said. “It gives that one-cell human being the constitutional protections all of us have.” The bill has 51 co-sponsors, but faces a daunting climb out of committee. Broun said he’s not discouraged and will introduce the same bill during every session of Congress until it passes or he retires.
