Reject nationwide abortion ban, uphold reproductive rights

H.R. 722 aims to grant legal personhood rights to fertilized eggs by extending the 14th Amendment's "equal protection" clause, effectively banning abortion nationwide. This is a blatant federal overreach that strips reproductive freedom from millions of Americans in direct violation of their 14th Amendment rights. Even in conservative states like Kansas, Montana, Ohio, and Missouri, voters have clearly expressed their desire to protect abortion access. However, in states with automatic bans triggered by the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade, constituents were denied a voice on this deeply personal issue affecting bodily autonomy. By imposing an extreme nationwide abortion ban, H.R. 722 overrides the democratic will of voters and arrogates decisions that should be left to individuals in consultation with their doctors. I urge you to reject this unconstitutional legislation that threatens fundamental reproductive rights.
