AI Summary
This bill, the "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act," amends Missouri's existing laws to provide additional protections for infants born alive during or after an abortion procedure. The key provisions include: 1) granting all the rights, privileges, and immunities of any other Missouri resident to a child born alive during or after an abortion; 2) requiring healthcare providers present during such a birth to exercise the same level of skill and care to preserve the life and health of the child as they would for any other live-born infant; and 3) allowing a court-appointed administrator to bring a civil lawsuit for the loss of the child's life, in addition to any criminal or administrative penalties. The bill aims to ensure that infants who survive an attempted abortion procedure are given the same level of medical care and legal protections as any other newborn in the state.
