Wisconsin GOP defends born-alive abortion bill, requiring providers to care for survivors or face prison
MADISON — Wisconsin Republicans moved quickly Tuesday to advance a bill that would require abortion providers to care for babies who survive abortion attempts or face prison, pushing it through a public hearing and preparing for a floor vote as early as next week.Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke and Senate President Roger Roth urged the Assembly Health Committee to pass the bill during the hearing, saying it would leave no doubt that health care providers must do everything they can to keep babies alive if they are born during a failed abortion attempt."Unless you're completely OK with there being gray areas, I don't understand why anyone would oppose this," Steineke said. "What's the harm?"Committee Democrats countered that babies are rarely born alive during failed abortion attempts and that there's no record of it ever happening in Wisconsin.
