CNN has altered its report on a bill that would require medical professionals to provide medical care to a baby that survived an abortion attempt.

CNN’s original report suggested a baby born after a botched abortion was somehow different than all other babies. The report was about Sen. Ben Sasse’s (R-NE) bill, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, and described the bill as requiring “abortion providers to work to ‘preserve the life and health’ of a fetus that was born following an attempted abortion as they would for a newborn baby, or face up to five years in prison.”
