Specifies that an unborn child, at any stage of development, is subject to the protections of the 5th and 14th Amendments of the United States Constitution

Summary

The bill would replace Missouri’s existing statute with language stating that life begins at conception and that unborn children are entitled to the same constitutional rights as other citizens, specifically those in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. It applies to all unborn children from conception to birth and clarifies that the provision does not create lawsuits against pregnant women for personal health choices. The measure aims to extend constitutional protections to fetuses.
