Senators object to protecting children who survive abortion

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom Senior Counsel Kristen Waggoner regarding Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse’s efforts to provide legal protections for children who survive an abortion and the U.S. Senate’s failure to pass S. 130 - Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act:

“Every human life is valuable and every single baby deserves to be protected. Alliance Defending Freedom works for a world where abortion is unthinkable and undesirable. We defend the pregnancy centers and medical professionals who offer expecting moms hope and help. We respectfully challenge our elected leaders to affirm the basic human rights of vulnerable children—born and unborn. We’re disappointed by the Senate’s failure to provide legal protection for babies who survive abortions. We’re grateful for Sen. Sasse’s leadership and for every elected leader who understands the human rights at stake and fights to protect vulnerable babies.”
