Today, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., and Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo., in coordination with the House Pro-life Caucus will hold a hearing on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, legislation to protect some of the most vulnerable of all Americans — babies who survive abortions.

This year, states like New York and Illinois have pushed a radical expansion of abortion on demand through birth, even going so far as to repeal state laws banning gruesome partial-birth abortions and strip away existing protections for babies born alive. In Virginia, Governor Ralph Northam who is also a physician, coolly described how a child who survives an abortion could be killed or left to die, as though it were completely unremarkable.
