ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Alliance Defending Freedom and the James Wilson Institute will host a panel discussion, free of charge and open to the public, on the strategic importance of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. The bill, if adopted into law, would ensure that a newborn who survives an abortion is entitled to the same medical attention that would be offered to any other premature baby at the same age.

Hadley Arkes, founder and director of the James Wilson Institute, will moderate the panel.
