Bill overview
This bill, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, aims to ensure that infants born alive following an abortion receive immediate and appropriate medical care. It requires healthcare practitioners present during an abortion to provide care equivalent to that given to any other newborn child of the same gestational age and to promptly admit the infant to a hospital. The bill also mandates reporting of any failure to meet these standards and establishes criminal penalties for non-compliance, as well as civil remedies for mothers who experience violations.
