Establishes rights and protections for children born alive after an abortion or attempted abortion.
The bill, known as the "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act," grants children born alive after an abortion or attempted abortion the same rights, privileges, and immunities as other liveborn children. It mandates health care providers to exercise professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of such children. The bill also imposes criminal, civil, and administrative penalties for those who knowingly perform or attempt to perform an overt act that kills a child born alive during or after an abortion or attempted abortion.
