You would think it would be a given for babies born alive from failed abortions would receive lifesaving medical care, right? Unfortunately it is not, because such protections are not enforced. Instead, state legislatures have acted to pass what's known as born-alive protection act bills to send to their governors, though it's mostly Republicans signing legislation. Most Democratic governors have vetoed it. On Tuesday, Gov. Kay Ivey (R-AL) signed such legislation into law protecting these abortion survivors.
?? I’ve signed HB 237!
Alabama supports the right to life. I appreciate Rep. Ginny Shaver’s work on this critical bill, and I’m proud to sign this into law and cement our commitment to the unborn. #alpolitics— Governor Kay Ivey (@GovernorKayIvey) May 25, 2021
