House Passes Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act

U.S. House of Representatives meet to vote on new Speaker of the House at the U.S. Capitol in Washington

The House of Representatives passed the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act” on Thursday with a vote of 217-204, with one member voting present. This bill aims to prevent health care practitioners from neglecting to provide proper care in cases where a child survives an abortion or attempted abortion.

However, the Senate faced a different outcome on Wednesday when their version of the bill failed to advance with a vote of 52-47. The Senate's bill required 60 votes to move forward, falling short of the necessary support.
