Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., this week reintroduced his Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, a move that comes just days before the official start of the 37th annual March for Life.
Everybody loves babies, and that love has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with just having a heart, the Republican senator said in a statement.
It added, This legislation is an opportunity for Congress to find consensus built on common sense, compassion, science, and a simple fact: every baby deserves a fighting chance at life. Providing care for newborns is more important than partisan political divides. Every baby has dignity every baby deserves protection and love.
Current federal law does not provide adequate protections for children who survive the abortion process, the senator argues.
The legislation that Sasse has reintroduced requires that, when an abortion results in the live birth of an infant, health care practitioners must exercise the same degree of professional skill and care to protect the newborn as would be offered to any other child born alive at the same gestational age, according to a statement provided by his office. It also requires that the living child, after appropriate care has been given, be immediately transported and admitted to a hospital."
Though the bill, which was originally introduced in 2017, provides for penalties for abortionists who knowingly fail to comply with the proposed legislation, it is careful to exempt mothers from prosecution.

All show.
Don’t dis Brassero. The next Cheney is waiting in the wings.
When Sasse showed up an hour later on Martha's show he made eminent sense. He's beginning to earn back some of his earlier good vibes that he gave away during his anti-Trump tirades.
Sasse is still an ass! To hell with him.
Sasse is the David Hogg of the Senate...a lowlife sleazy scumbag. Had someone write a book for him, and swamped voters from all states with his phoney emails.
Even though he openly muses about Trump he toes the Republican line. Most recently, when it came to the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation he voted him through.
After hiding under his desk for the entire confirmation process despite being on the relevent committee. What a hero.

Two books. He’s a busy virtue signalling beaver.
I say keep him. Votes with us enough. Save the reelection funds/efforts for another race.
