U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, of Kentucky, is re-introducing two anti-abortion bills, one aimed at taking away federal funding from Planned Parenthood and another that would define life as beginning at conception.

Paul said in a statement Friday that he was re-introducing the legislation in honor of the annual March for Life, a rally and march that protests the legality of abortion around the same time the country marks the anniversary of Roe V. Wade.

The Kentucky U.S. senator previously introduced the bills in 2019, but they went nowhere.

One of Paul's bills seeks to bar federal dollars from going to organizations that perform abortions, including Planned Parenthood. The Defund Planned Parenthood Act is cosponsored by Sens. Marsha Blackburn, Mike Braun, John Kennedy, Roger Marshall, Mike Rounds and Thom Tillis.

Paul's other bill, the Life at Conception Act, would extend 14th Amendment protections to the fetus' in all stages of development. The bill would do this by defining life as beginning at conception.

The 14th Amendment states that all persons born or naturalized in the U.S. will not be deprived of "life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Some of the same U.S. senators who signed onto Paul's Defund Planned Parenthood Act also signed onto the Life at Conception Act.

"Our nation cannot expect to fully protect and maintain our other rights if we do not respect the fundamental right to life even starting in the womb," Paul said in a statement.
