Officially: Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act
The bill requires medical staff to treat a child born alive after an abortion or attempted abortion like any other newborn at the same gestational age and get the child to a hospital. It adds reporting duties, criminal penalties, and a civil lawsuit option for the woman involved. The mother cannot be prosecuted under this new federal section.
