Establish that human life begins at the moment of fertilization and grant legal personhood to unborn children.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Life at Conception Act?
The active vehicle for this effort is S. 3667, which was referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary on Jan 14, 2026. The committee members must act to hold a vote for the bill to move forward, but most bills in Congress never receive a committee vote. This lack of action is the standard way most legislation ends its life cycle.
