On Monday, the Senate considered the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Act, which I co-sponsored upon introduction in January.
This legislation would require healthcare practitioners to provide for children who survive an abortion attempt “the same degree of professional skill, care and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious healthcare practitioner would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age.”
A failure to provide care to a child who has already beaten the odds to survive will create significant long-term impacts to the definition of healthcare.

Care cannot depend on whether or not the child is wanted. Sadly, Senate Democrats rejected the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act on the Senate floor. While this is shocking and disappointing, we must not be deterred from continuing our fight for life.

I applaud you for not having any serious personal thought except what the GOP tells you to mouth. What a bunch of maroons to follow you hollow headed leader
Please tell us where you are going to place all the children who are either not wanted or are being abused because they are not wanted. In this country, it costs greater than $35,000 to adopt a Caucasian infant or worse, these children sit in someone's foster care for years before they are adopted into their "forever home." There is so much more to this problem than just not allowing women to abort babies if needed or wanted and I wish the government would keep their nose out of it unless they are going to fix the whole system. I have assisted in a few abortions in my time (Catholic hospitals call them D & Cs), and there is just tissue. It is when the baby is viable that worries me.
