The resolution expresses the position of the West Virginia Legislature that unborn children should be recognized as legal and constitutional persons entitled to equal protection under the law. It references foundational documents such as the Declaration of Independence and the Fourteenth Amendment, arguing that these texts affirm the right to life and the equal protection of all persons, including the unborn. The resolution cites historical context, legal precedents, and scientific consensus to support the claim that life begins at fertilization and that unborn children possess moral and legally protectable interests in life, health, and well-being.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for the recognition of the personhood of unborn children within West Virginia and urges Congress to enact legislation that enforces the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection for unborn children nationwide. It also requests that the U.S. Supreme Court acknowledge the rights of unborn children to equal protection under the law. The resolution defines "unborn person" or "unborn child" as encompassing all stages of human development from fertilization until live birth, and it emphasizes the state's commitment to ensuring the rights of the unborn in alignment with its constitutional obligations.
