Relating to infants born alive.

Summary

The Born‑Alive Infants Protection Act obligates any health‑care practitioner present at a live birth—whether after natural labor, cesarean, or an induced abortion—to provide the same level of care as for any other newborn and to transport the infant to a hospital if needed. It also creates reporting duties, makes intentional or reckless failure unprofessional conduct, and lets the parent or fertilizing party sue for damages or injunctive relief, with provisions to keep the mother’s identity private.
