Democratic senators in Oregon have blocked proposed legislation that would have required physicians to provide identical medical care to babies who survive abortion attempts as they would for any other newborn, according to Ashley Sadler from Oregon Right to Life.
“Pro-abortion lawmakers in the Oregon Senate voted against bringing a bill to the floor that would require doctors to provide the same standards of care to babies born alive during failed abortions as newborns delivered under usual circumstances,” Sadler stated.
Currently, 18 states across the country have enacted similar protective measures for infants who survive abortion procedures. Public opinion research shows that a majority of Americans support this type of legislation.
