Cassidy: Babies Who Survive Abortion Should Receive Proper Medical Care

Press Release

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), a doctor and member of the Senate health committee, released the following statement after Senate Democrats blocked the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (S. 130), legislation protecting babies who survive abortions and are born alive by requiring they receive proper medical care and are admitted to a hospital.

"Babies who survive abortion and are born alive should receive proper medical care, not be tossed in the trash," said Dr. Cassidy. "Killing a baby outside the womb is clearly infanticide, and I can't fathom supporting that. Sadly, that's exactly what Democrats did today--the second time they supported infanticide this month. History will not look kindly upon this barbaric evil."

Cassidy joined Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) in introducing S. 130 last month, along with 38 other Senate Republicans.

A recent survey found that 77 percent of voters support this type of legislation.
