At least 826 babies were born alive after botched abortions

Abortion data from just seven states show babies continue to be born
alive in botched abortions every year across the United States.
Most states do not keep track of the number of babies who survive
abortions, and the few that do provide little information about
whether the babies received care, survived or were abandoned
to die.
LifeNews examined abortion data from seven states between 2020
and 2022 and found reports of 34 babies who were born alive in
botched abortions.
These numbers are from just 7 states, so the likelihood of these
numbers being much higher is almost certain.
And these are babies that survived the attempted murder and were
kept alive.
We know that in cases like Kermit Gosnell's mass murder abortion
clinic, many babies born alive are killed outside the womb or left
to die.
For the past several years, Republicans in Congress have been trying
to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which
would increase protections for babies who survive abortions. The bill
would require that the same basic medical care be provided to babies
who survive abortions as would be provided to any other baby born
at the same gestational age. It also would impose penalties on
medical workers who neglect to provide that care. However, Democrat
leaders have blocked the legislation dozens of times.
Research by Tessa Longbons of Charlotte Lozier Institute found that
protections for babies who survive abortions are inconsistent across
the United States, with fewer than half of states maintaining
sufficient protections.
Reports from other countries prove that babies survive abortions,
too, and legal protections for them are needed. In Canada, the
Canadian Institute of Health Information recorded 766 late-term,
live-birth abortions over a five-year period in 2018. And in
Australia, the country's health minister admitted that 27 babies
survived abortions in the state of Western Australia between 1999
and 2016. A report out of Ireland also suggests babies are surviving
abortions and being left to die there.
Roe may have been overturned, but the Left's commitment
to murdering the younger generation is just as strong as ever.
Protections against infanticide have to be codified into law and
these abortion mills must be shut down.
