Human Life Amendment

The Human Life Amendment is a proposed change to the U.S. Constitution aimed at recognizing and protecting human life from the moment of fertilization or conception. Its goal is to make clear that unborn babies have legal rights, which could influence laws about abortion, contraception, and reproductive rights. Supporters believe it would uphold the value of human life at all stages, while opponents worry it could restrict access to abortion and reproductive healthcare. The amendment would require approval by Congress and states before becoming part of the Constitution, making it a significant and potentially transformative change.
