Born-Alive Infants Protection Act

The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act is a law that says if a baby is born alive, then they should be treated like any other person and given proper medical care. This means that even if the baby was born prematurely or has a medical condition, they should still be given medical attention and care to help them survive.

Before this law was put in place, there were some cases where babies who were born alive were not given proper medical care because they were not considered legally alive. This law helps make sure that all babies who are born alive are protected and given the care they need to survive.

So in short, the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act is a law that says all babies who are born alive should be treated like any other person and given proper medical care to help them survive.
