Beutler said, \u201cThere is evidence that babies born alive are being killed or neglected after the fact. \u2026 If a baby is born alive after an abortion, they deserve the same treatment under the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\">The amendment provides &#8220;some guidance so that if this happens, which I\u2019m sure is very distressing, that there is some guidance for how they take care of and make sure that baby is given the same, equal medical care that any other baby of that gestational age would be offered in a hospital setting,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Beutler added that every baby, regardless of their skin color and station in life, deserves \u201cequality under the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beutler also read a report that said in 2017, an abortion provider in Arizona and California would not give a straight answer about their procedures during a born-alive abortion attempt, saying it \u201cdepended on who was in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also read from studies on how often babies are born alive during abortion procedures. The CDC did a 2003-2014 study that said at least 143 babies had been born alive and died after a failed abortion attempt.<\/p>\n<p>Arizona reported that 10 babies were born alive during a five-month period in 2017, and Canada said that 491 babies were born alive during botched abortions from 2000-2009.<\/p>\n<p data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\">Beutler said those numbers should concern everyone, whether those listening were pro-life or pro-abortion. \u201cIf a baby is born alive, after an abortion they deserve\u2014constitutionally\u2014the same exact protection under that law that any other baby is equal to,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\">Oftentimes, the babies born alive do not die from injuries sustained during the abortion attempt. Rep. Beutler said, \u201cThere is evidence, unfortunately, that babies born alive are being killed or neglected after the fact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\"><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/jaime-beutler-abortion-survivors-speech-house-committee\/\">Rep.

Beutler repeated that the amendment would ensure that a baby born alive during a failed abortion would have access to medical care like any other baby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just urge every person in this room to take a moment, whether you like whether this happens or not, recognize the truth that it does happen and we have a responsibility to help provide guidance\u2026 that we have taken those steps to make sure that equal protection under the law is provided,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The amendment failed in the Democrat-dominant committee 24 to 28. Two Democrats did vote for the Amendment: Rep. Sanford Bishop (D-Ga) and Rep.
