HB 2313 requires that, in the event of an infant being delivered alive after an attempted abortion, the abortionist must "[e]xercise the same degree of professional skill, care and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious healthcare provider would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age" and "ensure that the child who is born alive is immediately transported to a hospital."

It also requires failure to do so to be "immediately" reported to law enforcement. Those who commit abortions anyway would be guilty of a "severity level 1, person felony" and would potentially be liable for civil damages if brought by the mother. Facilities that fail to report violations would be subject to fines.

Kelly vetoed the measure earlier this month, claiming it would "interfere in medical decisions that should remain between doctors and their patients" while existing law already protected newborns. Pro-lifers called the move "heartless" and "inhuman."

On Wednesday, the Kansas House voted 87-37 and the state Senate voted 31-9 to override the veto, the Kansas City Star reports. The expected move guarantees that the born-alive law will take effect starting in July... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
