Establishes "New Jersey Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act."
S 4756, the "New Jersey Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act," requires health care professionals to provide the same standard of care to infants born alive after an abortion as they would to any newborn, ensuring immediate hospital transport. It defines "born alive" as an infant showing signs of life (breathing, heartbeat, or movement) regardless of how the birth occurred. Violating this duty is a third-degree crime (3-5 years in prison or $15,000 fine), while intentionally killing such an infant is a 30-year-to-life crime. The bill also mandates reporting failures to authorities (fourth-degree crime: up to 18 months jail or $10,000 fine) and protects mothers from conspiracy charges while allowing them to sue violators for damages.
