Senate GOP Seeks Cloture On Abortion Survivors Legislation
The Senate votes Wednesday on a bill aimed at ensuring medical care for unborn children who survive a botched abortion. It’s called the Born alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. It expands upon the protections for abortion survivors in the Born Alive Infant Protection Act of 2002, which merely defined abortion survivors as human beings, This new bill imposes a pro-active obligation of the health care provider to provide life-saving care. If the bill can muster the 60 votes it needs to break a Democrat filibuster, it will advance to a final vote later this week.
