Washington, D.C. –  Today, Congressman Ralph Norman (SC-05) voted to pass H.R. 4712, the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. This legislation will require the appropriate care to be given to any child who survives an attempted abortion and establish criminal penalties shall practitioners not give the child appropriate care.

Congressman Norman has released the following statement:

“As a father of four, and now 16 grandchildren, I strongly support protecting the sanctity of human life and I believe that life begins at conception. Whether a baby is still in the womb, if a child is born prematurely or even if a child is born alive following an attempted abortion, they still have a life worth protecting.

“I am proud to have voted in support of H.R. 4712, the Born-Alive Survivors Protection Act. This bill will do so much to protect our most vulnerable, and I will continue to support legislation and advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves.”
