National Right to Life (NRLC) has released a special report titled "Checking the Fact-Checkers: 'After-Birth' Abortions," shedding light on the issue of babies born alive following abortions.
The report was revealed on September 24, 2024, during a congressional briefing on the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.”
The NRLC aims to counter misinformation from pro-abortion groups and emphasize the need for legal protections for infants who survive abortions, underscoring that this issue is about preventing infanticide, not abortion.
“The abortion industry and its sympathizers want to make this about abortion. It’s not. It’s about infanticide,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “It is barbaric that newborns who have the temerity to survive an abortion are considered the ‘dreaded complication’ by abortionists.”
Tobias continued, “The baby who survives an abortion deserves the full protection of the law.”
The “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act” would require that when a baby is born alive following an abortion, health care practitioners must exercise the same degree of professional skill and care that would be offered to any other child born alive at the same gestational age. It also requires that, following appropriate care, health care workers must transport the child immediately to a hospital.
