the life at conception act

The last bit of snow in my yard melted on Mother’s Day and now the trees are budding and sprouting leaves while the grass comes back to life day by day.
The nine trees we lost in last winter’s storms are off the lawn and the last of the wind blown debris is gone as well.
We are beyond the cold and dark days of winter – and the early morning and late evening light bring a new sense of hope and optimism for a bright and sunny spring and a warm, productive summer for our gardens, fish, and wildlife.
Part of the optimism I feel today is the Life At Conception Act was introduced in the House today.
Introducing HB 205
The LIFE At Conception Act is a comprehensive bill that guarantees equal protection from the moment of conception without exception to the child’s age, level of development, sex, nature of conception, or any other distinguishing characteristic.
PROTECTS all innocent human life from conception to natural death by addressing several points in Alaska’s Constitutional and Statutory Laws:
RECOGNIZES every child’s Constitutional Rights to life, liberty, equality, equal rights, and equal protection as seen in Article 1, Section 1 of Alaska’s Constitution.
ELIMINATES abortion access from the right to privacy, by defining privacy to exclude the right to kill a child in accordance with Article 1, Section 22 of the Alaska State Constitution.
DEFINES children in the womb from the moment of conception as ‘natural persons.’
DEFINES conception as the beginning of the biological development of a human organism, when the sperm and egg fuse.
DEFINES abortion as any action taken before or during the birth of a child with the intent to kill the child.
REPEALS Alaska’s abortion laws and statutes, primarily Alaska Statute 18.16.
PROVIDES legal protections to medical professionals who, despite their best efforts to save the life of both mother and child, are unable to preserve the life of a child in emergency medical situations.
PROVIDES criminal penalties for any intentional killing of a child at any age equivalent to negligent homicide, murder, or any other intentional killing of a person.

Introducing HB 205
We owe special thanks to Representative David Eastman from Wasilla. He has worked tirelessly to protect babies from abortion in one of the most hostile legislatures we have ever seen.
His efforts – on nights, weekends – and wherever possible, Representative Eastman has collaborated with Alaska Right to Life, Personhood USA, End Abortion Now, and many other pro-life organizations to bring the very best legislation to protect babies from abortion.
Thank you, Representative Eastman!

Now that the Life at Conception Act has been introduced – new and improved, we have a lot of work to do.
There are thousands of petitions to print – and thousands more to gather.
Presentations to prepare – in the Legislature, in district meetings, churches, homes, and everywhere in between.
And we need your help.
If you have not done so, please sign the petition – every name is like a shot of courage for politicians to do the hard work of protecting babies.
Next, please share this great news with all your pro-life friends and family.
Finally, please chip in whatever you can – $35, $50, $100, whatever you can afford.

DEAR READER,
Do you pray for an end to abortion in Alaska? If so, there is something urgent that you need to know…
Even though Roe v Wade is in the dustbin of history, the abortion industry is ramping up its efforts here in Alaska with more chemical abortions than we’ve ever seen along with more abortion advocates in the Legislature than at any time in Alaska’s history.
We will fight to protect babies until every child is ensured the right to life, equal protection, and equal justice as both God and our Constitution require.
This is where you come in.
With lives hanging in balance, I hope you will sign this urgent pledge and commit to stand for life!
