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 measure repeals an existing statute and replaces it with language that says life begins at conception and that unborn children are entitled to the rights protected by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. It directs Missouri law to treat unborn children as persons for those constitutional rights, but explicitly says it does not create a lawsuit against a pregnant woman for her own care. The bill did not pass.
