Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act mandates health care practitioners to provide care to infants born alive after an abortion.
The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act amends title 18, United States Code, to ensure health care practitioners provide the same degree of care to infants born alive after an abortion as they would to any other newborn. This includes immediate admission to a hospital and exercising professional skill, care, and diligence. The bill also mandates reporting of non-compliance by health care practitioners or clinic employees to law enforcement. Violators face fines, imprisonment, or both.
