Kansas Legislature Approaches Final Approval of Born-Alive Infants Protection Bill

Kansas is considering a new law that seeks to protect the life of newborn babies in the event of a live birth during an abortion procedure. The proposed legislation, referred to as “born-alive infants protection”, would require medical staff to take all necessary steps to save the life of a newborn, should it occur during a delivery abortion. This measure has been designed to ensure that all life is valued and protected, in line with the values of the pro-life movement.

Rather, it seeks to address concerns about the abandonment of infants after birth during certain types of abortions, a practice that is widely disputed.
