WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Brad Wenstrup (OH-02) called for unanimous consent to bring up H.R. 962, the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, of which he is a cosponsor. The bill ensures that newborns who survive abortions are granted full legal protections and guaranteed medical care.

“As a doctor, I believe protecting the health of a patient is the highest priority. By allowing the refusal of care to babies born alive during an abortion, we are abandoning our humanity even further as we start to value one life over another. The Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act bars horrific acts of infanticide and protects the sanctity of life for all humans,” said Congressman Brad Wenstrup.
