Congressman Introduces Bill to Replace “Fetus” With “Unborn Child” in Federal Law
January 29, 2022 | Colorado, District of Columbia
A pro-life congressman has introduced new legislation that would replace the term “fetus” with “unborn child” through the entirety of federal law in order to emphasize the humanity of unborn babies.
Congressman Doug Lamborn, a Colorado Republican, introduced H.R. 6099, the Recognizing the Unborn Act, with 19 of his colleagues. The Recognizing the Unborn Act will work to ensure that unborn children are acknowledged and protected, he said in a statement to LifeNews.com.
“Everywhere in the federal code where it says ‘fetus,’ we’re going to change that to ‘unborn baby’ to give humanity and dignity and respect to the unborn,” Lamborn said recently.
His bill defines an “unborn child” as “a member of the species homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb.”.. (Excerpts from LIFENEWS.COM)
