Democrats Defeat Amendment Protecting Babies Who Survive Abortion
After a senate vote, the senate Democrats grimly defeated an amendment that protects babies who survive an abortion. Christian Headlines reported:
The amendment would have required that doctors give a baby who survives an abortion the same health care as any other baby that age. Specifically, the amendment would have allowed for the “creation of criminal and civil penalties” for “providers who fail to exercise the same degree of care for babies who survive an abortion or attempted abortion as would be provided to another child born at the same gestational age.”
