Introduced in the House as H.R. 212 by Paul Broun on January 7, 2011
Committee consideration by Committee on the Judiciary
The Sanctity of Human Life Act[1]
was a proposed piece of U.S. federal abortion legislation which would have conferred the status of full legal personhood on embryos beginning at fertilization or cloning.
Its 64 cosponsors, all Republicans,[2] included Todd Akin, whose comments about rape and abortion caused political controversy later in 2012, and the 2012 Republican presidential running mate Paul Ryan.[3][4]
It should not be confused with the "Sanctity of Life Act", which was a different bill introduced in its 2011 (112th Congress) version by Ron Paul with no cosponsors.
