To date, the fetus expelled from the womb by artificial birth, was considered abortive material and will be disposed of. Even if the fetus is alive.
Adopted on Friday the law fundamentally changes the strategy of action in such situations — bill H. R. 4712 requires doctors to provide medical care to babies born alive during an abortion or attempted abortion. The rule applies not only to the gynecologist who carried out the procedure, but any practicing physician who was present.
While physicians are required to provide child care to the same extent as any other newborn child. Violators face 5 years imprisonment and a fine.
Even more severe punishment waiting for doctors and health workers, deliberately carried out actions aimed at the killing of a born alive fetus — they will be tried for murder to the fullest extent of the law.
Note that the mother that made the decision about abortion is exempt from criminal and administrative prosecution and even has the right to sue the doctor.
A humane law was passed just a few hours before the start of the 45-th «March for life» in which Donald trump has promised to amend the law on abortion. For the bill voted 241 Congressman, vs — 183. Among the latter were exclusively the representatives of the Democratic party.
To the innovation came into force, it must approve at least 60 members of the Senate.
Recall that recently doctors in Ohio banned abortions in case of detection of down syndrome in the fetus.
