On the recordMarch 13, 2019
A few minutes ago, I rose to call for a vote on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires any baby who survives an abortion to receive the same medical care that any baby born at the same age would receive. It requires the baby to then be transported to a hospital. As a doctor, I strongly believe that every patient, especially these infants born alive, should be given appropriate medical care. This should not even be a question. New York recently celebrated passing a law that removes protections from babies born alive after an abortion attempt. Other States also fail to protect abortion survivors. Therefore, it is our duty, as Members of Congress, to defend the God- given right to life for every baby in this situation. It is our duty, as compassionate human beings, to ensure that these uniquely vulnerable babies receive the care that they deserve. It is past time to vote on H.R. 962. ____________________
