HR 26

Sponsored by Ann Wagner (R)

Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act

Would have required doctors to give care to babies born alive after abortions, with prison terms of up to 5 years.

Tradeoff

Would have required the same care for babies born alive after abortions as for other newborns. Would have set fines or up to 5 years in prison for violations, and let the mother sue.
