A Record of Results
Jones sponsored legislation creating the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. The measure provides that a child born alive following an abortion or attempted abortion is entitled to the same legal protections as any other child born alive. It also establishes a duty of care for health-care providers to preserve the life, health, and comfort of a child born alive in these circumstances. For Jones, the issue comes down to a simple principle: every child who is born alive deserves care and protection under the law.
