The
Human Life Amendment
is the name of multiple proposals to
amend
the
United States Constitution
that would have the effect of overturning the
Supreme Court
1973 decision
Roe v. Wade
, which ruled that prohibitions against
abortion
were unconstitutional. All of these amendment proposals seek to overturn
Roe v. Wade
, but most of them go further by forbidding both Congress and the states from legalizing abortion. Some of the proposals define human life as beginning with conception or
fertilization
.
These amendments are sponsored or supported by the
United States pro-life movement
and opposed by the
United States pro-choice movement
. None of these proposals have succeeded.

A number of Human Life Amendments have been proposed in Congress since 1973, with 20 total days of hearings before the

Between 1973 and 2003, the National Committee for a Human Life Amendment reports a total of 330 proposals using varying texts, with most dying in committee. The only version of the Human Life Amendment to reach a formal floor vote was the Hatch-Eagleton Amendment, which received 49 supporting votes in the Senate on June 28, 1983, falling 18 votes short of the 67 required for passage
