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.
