Puerto Rico’s Governor Jenniffer González Colón has signed Senate Bill 504 into law, recognizing unborn babies as natural persons from conception for civil purposes like inheritance, affirming the scientific and moral truth that human life begins at fertilization.
This measure amends the Civil Code to align with biological reality, delivering a powerful blow to the abortion industry’s dehumanization of the preborn and setting a precedent for pro-life progress in the territory. While it doesn’t alter existing abortion statutes, it underscores conservative values of dignity and equality for all humans, countering progressive ideologies that treat the unborn as disposable.
National Right to Life (NRL) hailed the legislation as a “landmark achievement,” with President Carol Tobias declaring it a “clear and courageous recognition of preborn babies as persons” that “reflects a deep respect for life and provides a powerful example for lawmakers throughout the United States.”
She emphasized that legal personhood for the preborn is “consistent with science and human dignity” and forms “the foundation upon which a culture of life can flourish,” reaffirming that “every human being—born and unborn—deserves equal protection under the law.”
