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 the health care worker to give the baby the same level of care any other newborn of the same age would receive and to make sure the baby is taken to a hospital right away. If a health care worker doesn't follow these rules, or if someone who knows about a violation doesn't report it to law enforcement, they could face fines or up to five years in prison. The bill also says the mother cannot be criminally charged under this law and allows her to sue health care workers or employees who violate it.
