(Worthy News) – The House of Representatives on Wednesday passed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act to require medical care for babies who survived failed abortion attempts, with 210 Democrats opposing the measure.
A total of 220 lawmakers supported the measure to grant legal person status for abortion survivors and require that doctors care for them as a “reasonably diligent and conscientious health care practitioner would render to any other child born alive,” according to Fox News.
Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar was the only Democrat to back the bill, while Democratic Texas Rep. Vicente Gonzalez voted present, per The Hill. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
