New Jersey Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act establishes protections for infants born alive after an abortion.
The New Jersey Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act mandates that health care professionals provide the same level of care to infants born alive following an abortion as they would to any other newborn. It defines "born alive" as the complete expulsion or extraction from the mother of a child who breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles. The act also requires health care professionals to report any failure to comply with these provisions to state or federal law enforcement agencies.
