These two pieces of legislation (H 5446 and H 5447) try to cover up their real motive behind a supposed “protection” for unborn children. Nevertheless, in reality both bills aim to undermine reproductive rights, threaten physicians, and enshrine into law the concept of “fetal personhood". No action was taken on either bill after they were heard.
