Introduced Text

New Jersey Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act mandates care for infants born alive after abortion.

The New Jersey Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act requires health care professionals to provide the same care to infants born alive after an abortion as they would to any other newborn. It also mandates immediate hospital admission for such infants. The mother of a child born alive following an abortion cannot be charged with conspiracy under this act and can sue for damages if the act's provisions are violated. Employees who fail to report non-compliance can be charged with a crime.
