Democrats - killing an unborn child and not providing medical care to infants who survive failed abortions is ok. But a WALL protecting our border is "IMMORAL". Tell me you liberal hypocrites, when was the last time a wall or fence protecting our border physically killed someone? NEVER!

What would happen if a young (or older) mother took her her newborn infant and threw it in dumpster? There would be an uproar and prosecution, how is this different? Better to eliminate a potential future Democrat voter and bring in thousands across the border that will be eligible to vote much sooner.

There is already a law in place. Born-Alive Infants Protection Act was passed unanimously in 2002. Keep up the propaganda.....

SCPO Jason McLaughlin - No, they are not. Doctors are not required to render emergency medical care outside their regular place of practice or regular hours of practice. The legal argument is that emergency care is not necessarily within the scope of their license, nor are they exempted from possible law suits by "good samaritan" laws. EMT's operate under the license of a specific Doctor (the Emergency Care Authority) who establishes policies, protocols and procedures for all EMT's within his/her jurisdiction. As long as they stay within those policies and procedures, in most states they are protected from criminal and civil actions. I believe Physician's assistants and Nurse practitioners get some level of similar protection, but each get's that protection from the specific practice managing physician, under whose license they operate.
Additionally Doctors are held to the standard of "definitive care." EMT's are held to the standard of non-definitive medical interventions. Unless the patient refuses care from a physician, they will ALWAYS see a physician if EMT's provide any medical intervention considered emergent medical care.
That said, I don't know a Medical practitioner at any level who would not step up if it became necessary. In mass casualty situations (a church van rollover counts as a mass casualty in my rural county) I've had a veterinarian pitch in and provide medical assistance. I've been an EMT for 15 years, and probably had by-passer ER nurse volunteer to help somewhere near 50-60 times.
That which can be misunderstood or misinterpreted will be misunderstood or misinterpreted. I do not think that the new bill requires anything new of abortion practitioners. It codifies it and puts some legal teeth behind it. I suspect, but do not know, that most medical ethics classes would advocate that abortion practitioners provide complete care for the survivor of a failed abortion.

SCPO Jason McLaughlin - It is very satisfy when things work out. 95%+ of the time. That is the best satisfaction rate I've ever had for doing something that pays me.
