National Right to Life Releases A Special Report on Babies Born Alive Following Abortions

On Tuesday, National Right to Life (NRLC) released a special report, Checking the Fact-Checkers: “After-Birth” Abortions, about babies born alive following abortions. The document was released at a congressional briefing on the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.”

The document comes at a crucial time when pro-abortion groups have promoted false narratives about babies who are born alive during abortions. Additionally, vice presidential candidate and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is under scrutiny and criticism for his actions in reversing state protections for babies born alive following abortions.

“The abortion industry and its sympathizers want to make this about abortion. It’s not. It’s about infanticide,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “It is barbaric that newborns who have the temerity to survive an abortion are considered the ‘dreaded complication’ by abortionists.”

Tobias continued, “The baby who survives an abortion deserves the full protection of the law.”

The “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act” would require that when a baby is born alive following an abortion, health care practitioners must exercise the same degree of professional skill and care that would be offered to any other child born alive at the same gestational age. It also requires that, following appropriate care, health care workers must transport the child immediately to a hospital.

Speakers at the congressional briefing included Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life, Sarah Zagorski, director of communications for Louisiana Right to Life and a survivor of abortion, Cathy Blaeser, executive director, Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life, and Melissa Ohden, founder of The Abortion Survivors Network and a survivor of abortion.

National Right to Life works through legislation and education to protect innocent human life from abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide, and euthanasia.
