re: Yesterday, FORTY-FOUR Senate democrats voted for human euthanasia

ok hold on people, it's incorrect to say the doctor is allowed to "kill" the baby after birth

The bill requires doctors to provide care for the newborn. Not kill it. In fact the doctors are already supposed to help because of the Hippocratic oath right?

quote:

---

This bill amends the federal criminal code to require any health care practitioner who is present when a child is born alive following an abortion or attempted abortion to: (1) exercise the same degree of care as reasonably provided to any other child born alive at the same gestational age, and (2) ensure that such child is immediately admitted to a hospital. The term "born alive" means the complete expulsion or extraction from his or her mother, at any stage of development, who after such expulsion or extraction breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, regardless of whether the umbilical cord has been cut.
