Here's the relevant text quote:
SEC. 2. FINDING AND DECLARATION. (a) Finding- The Congress finds that present day scientific evidence indicates a significant likelihood that actual human life exists from conception. (b) Declaration- Upon the basis of this finding, and in the exercise of the powers of the Congress-- (1) the Congress declares that-- (A) human life shall be deemed to exist from conception, without regard to race, sex, age, health, defect, or condition of dependency; and
(B) the term `person' shall include all human life as defined in subparagraph (A); and
So a fertilized egg is a legal person and receives all the rights and protections of any other person, see 14th ammendment. Therefore medical abortion is first degree murder and must be treated exactly like any other murder, see 14th ammendment again. Therefore as I previously stated Paul's claims are simply lies. His bill would give states no options at all in dealing with abortion.
