AI Summary
This bill, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, seeks to amend Title 18 of the United States Code to require healthcare practitioners to provide the same level of care for a child born alive after an abortion or attempted abortion as they would for any other child born at the same gestational age.

The bill also establishes that a mother cannot be prosecuted for such violations.
