This bill establishes the "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act" which recognizes a child born alive after or during an abortion as a child with the same rights, privileges and immunities as any other live-born child. Any health care provider shall provide the same care that would be provided to any other child born alive at the same gestational age.
Also, this bill permits a court-appointed administrator to bring a cause of action for loss of life.
This bill is similar to SB 388 and HB 971 (2019).
