In the last 12 years, 108 babies have been born alive after attempted abortions in five U.S. states alone.
The babies were born in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota and Texas, Live Action reported, citing state records. Only a small minority of states reports when babies are born alive after an abortion, Live Action Director of External Affairs Alison Centofante told The Christian Post in an email.
The “Born Alive Bill” (Born Alive Infant Protection Act), which was vetoed by Governor Andy Beshear in April, passed in the Kentucky Senate Thursday afternoon.
Senate Bill 9, which Senator Whitney Westerfield sponsored, would mandate that hospitals provide medical care for an infant “born alive” to preserve their life.
Westerfield told the News Edge he was thrilled to get approval from the Senate after Beshear’s veto.
The bill passed with a 32-4 vote and is headed to the state House of Representatives, where Westerfield thinks it will be approved later this week and put back on Governor Beshear’s desk for a signature into law.

Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard, member of the Hawaii National Guard, joins Shannon Bream on Fox News @ Night.
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, D-Hawaii, is facing a wave of backlash from the left after she introduced legislation designed to ensure infants receive proper medical care after surviving abortions.
Introduced on Tuesday, the amendment bore resemblance to another born alive bill that House Democrats rejected earlier this year.
Some on Twitter argued that Gabbard was attacking women s rights and trying to address a non-existent problem. Tulsi Gabbard also introduced a redundant bill that claims to protect infants in the infinitesimally rare cases they are born after attempted abortions, feminist Jill Filipovic said, noting that infants are already legally protected.
