The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act aims to ensure the protection and care of infants born alive after an abortion or attempted abortion.
The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act amends title 18, United States Code, to mandate that health care practitioners provide the same degree of care to infants born alive after an abortion or attempted abortion as they would to any other child born alive. It prohibits the intentional killing of such infants and outlines civil and criminal penalties for violations. The act also ensures that the mother of a child born alive cannot be prosecuted for related offenses and mandates reporting of violations to law enforcement. The act takes effect one day after its enactment.
