Colorado senators on Feb. 11 rejected a bill that would penalize abortion providers who don’t give “appropriate medical treatment” for babies that survive an abortion.
The legislation, House Bill 1068—known as the Born Alive Child Physician Relationship Act—required abortion providers to “exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious physician would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age.”
