HHS Agency Requires Abortion Survivors to Be Treated
< >
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has re-released guidance to all of its regional centers informing them that hospitals are required to examine and treat babies who survive abortion as well as those born prematurely.
The branch of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) again issued the guidance that restates regulations associated with the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) and the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act of 2002.
“The guidance clarifies that all infants at the point of birth are legal persons,” said Dr. Donna Harrison, executive director of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG), in a statement. “This protection has been part of existing law for decades yet has been either ignored or not enforced, allowing children born after abortion to be set aside to die from neglect, or actively killed.”
