Committee on Health & Human Services

Overview

Supports the enactment of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act and the Ensuring Accurate and Complete Abortion Data Reporting Act of 2019.

History

The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act defines the term born alive as it pertains to medical and legal rights (H.R. 2175, 2002). Following the enactment of the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act was introduced by the United States Congress to ensure that medically appropriate care be provided to any infant born alive following an abortion procedure. Failure to comply with the Act can result in legal action (S. 311, 2019-2020).

In order to develop proper data and statistics about failed abortions, the Ensuring Accurate and Complete Abortion Data Reporting Act of 2019 requires states to report certain abortion data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (H.R. 3580, 2019).
