Bill Summary
Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act
AI Summary
This bill, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, amends North Carolina's laws to provide protections for infants born alive after an abortion or attempted abortion. It defines "born alive" and requires healthcare practitioners to provide the same level of care for such infants as they would for any other newborn. The bill also establishes mandatory reporting requirements, prohibits prosecution of the mother, and imposes criminal penalties and civil remedies for non-compliance. The bill also revises the state's existing law on murder to include situations where a child is born alive but dies as a result of an intentional act after birth.
