Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act

This bill sets rules for how doctors and other health care workers must treat a baby that is born alive after an abortion or attempted abortion. It requires that the baby receive the same level of medical care as any other baby born at the same stage of development and be taken to a hospital right away. Any health care worker or employee who knows these rules were not followed must report it to law enforcement, and those who fail to provide the required care or fail to report violations could face fines or up to five years in prison. The bill also says the mother cannot be charged with a crime under this law and allows her to sue health care workers or employees who violate it.
