Bill overview
This bill, the "New Jersey Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act," establishes legal protections for infants born alive after an abortion or attempted abortion. It mandates that healthcare professionals provide the same level of care as they would for any newborn, ensuring immediate transport to a hospital for treatment. The act also outlines criminal penalties for failing to meet these standards and for intentionally causing harm to a born-alive infant, while protecting the mother from criminal liability.
