N.D. Personhood Bill Advances: National Catholic Register
North Dakota looks to be well on its way to becoming the first American jurisdiction to recognize human personhood as beginning legally at the moment of conception.
On Feb. 17, the North Dakota House approved H.B. 1572, a bill that defines human personhood as beginning at the time a human egg is fertilized to commence a new human life, by a 51-41 vote.
The bill is now before the state Senate, where it has a solid chance of passing and then being signed into law. Both houses of the North Dakota legislature are controlled by the Republican Party, and Gov. John Hoeven is also a Republican.
Pray!
