Mr. Galebach's Human Life Bill, written on behalf of Senator Jesse Helms and

Representative Henry Hyde, attempted to vitiate Roe v. Wade by defining life as

beginning at conception, thus placing the unborn child under the protection of the 14th Amendment. SG: "With the Human Life Bill we have an exceptional case, because the Court declared itself unable to resolve a particular question." WFB: "A factual question." SG: "Yes, of when life begins. Now, if that factual question is central to the definition of who is a person, then a congressional determination would influence the Court." Mr. Bork, while no fan of the incumbent Court, holds that "If Mr. Galebach is right ... we really have a constitutional revolution on our hands. It means that Section 5 of the 14th Amendment gives Congress the power to say what violates the 14th Amendment and the Court ought to defer.... What you are doing or would do--out of very good impulses--is ratify some constitutional damage and make more possible."
