I urge you to vote no on H.R. 722, the bill seeking to implement equal protection for "each born and preborn human person." This legislation lacks scientific grounding and would infringe on reproductive rights. A zygote is not a viable life that can survive independently outside the woman's body. Granting legal personhood to a zygote from the moment of conception dismisses biological realities and imposes severe constraints on women's healthcare decisions. Protecting reproductive freedom upholds personal liberty and promotes women's wellbeing. This overreaching bill warrants rejection based on its unsubstantiated premises and far-reaching consequences. A no vote respects scientific evidence and safeguards reproductive autonomy.
