U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina expressed disappointment following the Senate Democrats’ decision to block the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. This legislation aims to ensure that healthcare practitioners provide care to newborns who survive abortions.
Graham, an original cosponsor of the bill, stated, “Most Americans find it inexcusable that the Senate cannot pass a law protecting a child who survives an abortion from further harm. If this is not common sense and compassion, what would be?”
He further commented on his dissatisfaction with the outcome, saying, “I am so bitterly disappointed that Senate Democrats blocked this legislation.”
The bill addresses situations where infants survive late-term abortions. Graham emphasized the need for clear legal guidelines regarding such cases, stating simply, “Save the baby.”
