The bill required a physician performing an abortion to take all medically appropriate and reasonable steps to preserve the life of a “born-alive infant.” A person is prohibited from using a “born-alive infant” for any type of scientific research or other kind of experimentation unless it is necessary to protect or preserve the life and health of a “born-alive infant.” The bill also prohibited infanticide.
The bill further provided that a “born-alive infant” is a legal person under the law with the same rights to medically appropriate and legal care and treatment.
