House Republicans passed through a bill that critics deemed unnecessary as laws protecting infants born after abortion attempts already exist.
Planned Parenthood said the bill is a"nothing contrived scare tactic" by the GOP to stigmatize abortion.
"It is yet another attempt by anti-abortion politicians to spread misinformation as a means to their warped political end: to ban safe and legal abortion." The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002 says that a child born during any stage of developing, including after a failed abortion attempt, will be considered a"person" and granted legal protections.
In a statement after the bill was passed in the House, Rep. Cammack said:"Upholding the value and sanctity of life has been a personal mission for me, and this bill plays a key role in affirming what the American people have always known: life is sacred."
