Establishes the born alive abortion survivors' protection act to mandate health care practitioners to provide immediate care to a child born alive.
The bill establishes the born alive abortion survivors' protection act, requiring any health care practitioner present at the time a child is born alive during an abortion or attempted abortion procedure to exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious health care practitioner would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age. It mandates that the practitioner ensure the child born alive is immediately transported and admitted to a hospital.
