== Contrast with Personhood Amendment ==
Some [[pro-life]]rs, including James Bopp have compared the Heartbeat Bill to the [[Personhood Amendment]]. But there is no similarity, and the Heartbeat Bill has none of the flaws associated with the Personhood Amendment.
*the Heartbeat Bill is legislation, not an initiative, thus is free of the election mischief that the Personhood Amendment causes
*the Heartbeat Bill is supported by genuine and effective pro-lifers, including Janet Porter, Jack Willkie and Michele Bachmann
*the Heartbeat Bill is clear and not susceptible to misinterpretations by courts
