Missouri HB2294 establishes protections for children born alive after an abortion, including medical care and legal rights.
Missouri HB2294, the "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act," mandates health care providers to offer the same care to children born alive after an abortion as they would to any other child. It also requires immediate hospital admission for these children. The act imposes penalties for violations, including imprisonment and fines, and allows for civil liability for those who cause the death of a child born alive during or after an abortion. It further establishes that the natural loss of an unborn child before viability is not considered an abortion.
