The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act amends Title 18 of the United States Code to require health care practitioners to exercise a high degree of care for any child born alive following an abortion or attempted abortion. It stipulates that such infants are entitled to the same legal protections as any other newborn. The act mandates immediate admission to a hospital and requires reporting of any violations. Penalties for non-compliance include fines and imprisonment, with harsher penalties for intentional harm to the infant. Additionally, the mother cannot be prosecuted under this act, and civil remedies are available for violations.1
