Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act aims to ensure proper care for infants born alive after an abortion.
The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act amends the federal criminal code to mandate that health care practitioners provide the same degree of care to infants born alive after an abortion as they would to any other child born alive. It prohibits intentional killing of such infants and outlines civil and criminal penalties for violations. The act also ensures that the mother of the child cannot be prosecuted for related offenses and mandates reporting of any failure to comply with these requirements. The act takes effect one day after its enactment.
