NC lawmaker introduces ‘Life at Conception Act’

RALEIGH, NC (WTVD) — House bill 163, a so-called “Life at Conception Act,” was filed Wednesday in the North Carolina General Assembly by Rep. Beverly Boswell (R-Dare County).

The bill defines life as the “moment of fertilization or cloning” and requires the prosecution of any woman for “the death of her unborn child.”

The bill will not call for the prohibition of in vitro fertilization, birth control or “(other) means of preventing human fertilization.”

“This Life at Conception Act says unborn children are people legally entitled to constitutional protection,” Boswell said in a press release.
