Original reporting from chantaladasilva - 'Born Alive' abortion bill was all “political framing” and no “substance,” expert says
The failed Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act bill aimed at penalizing doctors who do not provide medical treatment to infants surviving a failed abortion was"more a matter of political framing than substance," an expert on the history of reproduction rights and the Constitution has said. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump hit out at Democrats after the"Born Alive" bill fell short of the 60 votes it needed to pass, with a 53–44 outcome.
"I’ve never personally heard of such a case following abortion, but it does happen in wanted pregnancies where the mother has a premature labor and delivers prior to viability," Lord said. Lord warned that something like the Born Alive bill could"frighten staff into feeling they have to provide intensive medical treatment and resuscitation, which is likely to be undignified, invasive and distressing.
