The purpose of this legislation, known as the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, is to establish legal protections for infants who are born alive during or after an abortion procedure. The goal is to ensure that these infants receive the same level of medical care that any other newborn would receive, thereby safeguarding their health and life. Key provisions of the act require that any healthcare practitioner present at the time of a live birth following an abortion must provide a high standard of care to the child.
