The Senate attempted to solidify the answer with a law requiring medical treatment for babies born as a result of an abortion procedure. Unfortunately, it didn&#8217;t pass. What was included in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/116th-congress\/senate-bill\/130\/text\">bill<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>S. 130 &#8211; Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Congress finds the following:<\/p>\n<p>(1) If an abortion results in the live birth of an infant, the infant is a legal person for all purposes under the laws of the United States, and entitled to all the protections of such laws.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Any infant born alive after an abortion or within a hospital, clinic, or other facility has the same claim to the protection of the law that would arise for any newborn, or for any person who comes to a hospital, clinic, or other facility for screening and treatment or otherwise becomes a patient within its care.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Only three Democrats voted with the Republicans. The rest, including candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination, voted against the bill.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>All prominent Democratic 2020 presidential hopefuls in the Senate voted down the measure, including Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Kamala Harris of California, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. The final vote was 53-44 to end Democratic delaying tactics &#8212; seven votes short of the 60 needed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This may not be the last that the above candidates hear about this.
