Medical workers would have to care for a baby born alive after an abortion or attempted abortion. They would also have to get the baby to a hospital and report known failures to law enforcement. The mother could not be charged under this new law.

Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act is a Senate bill stalled. The latest recorded action: Cloture on the motion to proceed to the measure not invoked in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 52 - 47. Record Vote Number: 11. (CR S294-295).
Latest action on S. 6: Cloture on the motion to proceed to the measure not invoked in Senate by Yea-Nay Vote. 52 - 47. Record Vote Number: 11. (CR S294-295)
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects doctors, nurses, and staff at hospitals, doctors' offices, and abortion clinics. It gives them specific duties when a baby is born alive after an abortion or attempted abortion. It also affects women who had the abortion or attempted abortion, because they could sue over failures to provide required care and could not be charged under this new section.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it would set one federal rule for what medical workers must do when a baby is born alive after an abortion or attempted abortion. It could change training, reporting, and legal risk for doctors, nurses, clinics, and hospitals. It also gives the mother a right to sue while blocking charges against her under this new section. The wider effect on abortion services is unclear from the text alone.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
