Bill overview
The Sanctity of Life Act of 2020 declares that human life begins at fertilization and that ‘person’ includes all human life from that point. It aims to limit federal court jurisdiction over cases related to abortion regulations or funding. Specifically, it prevents the Supreme Court and district courts from reviewing laws or actions that protect the rights of unborn individuals or restrict abortion access. This legislation seeks to reinforce the idea of the sanctity of life from conception.
