The "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act" is redundant and unnecessary legislation that threatens to further erode access to reproductive healthcare. There are already laws in place that protect infants born alive during attempted abortions. This bill promotes the unfounded narrative that such situations regularly occur and are not properly addressed, which is simply untrue. It aims to impose criminal penalties on doctors who do not administer particular medical interventions, even when such care could be futile or undermine patient wishes. This threatens to force medical professionals to provide inappropriate treatment against their best judgement. The bill is a clear attempt to recriminalize aspects of abortion care and perpetuates harmful disinformation. As such, I urge you to oppose this unwarranted legislation that jeopardizes reproductive rights and medical ethics.
