Save Babies Born Alive!
February 6, 2019
In recent weeks, lawmakers in New York and Virginia have crossed the line in advocating for infanticide. To protect babies who survive abortions, Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) has introduced the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (S. 130).
S. 130 would mandate that a medical professional provide healthcare to a baby who is born alive during an abortion attempt. If a doctor would act otherwise, they could be federally prosecuted and face jail time.
This is a common sense bill that should be bipartisan. However, Senate Democrats have labeled the bill as “anti-choice” and blocked a voice vote to move the legislation onto the House. The bill must not end here. Our Senators can urge Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to bring it to the floor for debate and a roll call vote.
Please call or email your Senators to protect babies by moving forward S. 130, the Born-Alive Survivors Protection Act!
