AMA Rejects Resolution to Care for Babies Who Survive Abortions
Abortion activists took over the major medical organizations in America years ago.
Their radical pro-abortion views are now so far outside mainstream medicine and science that the American Medical Association (AMA) has rejected a proposal to support medical care for babies who survive abortions.
Thomas Eppes Jr., MD, a delegate from Forest, Virginia, proposed a resolution asking that the AMA merely oppose infanticide. He wanted the major medical group on record supporting proper medical care for any baby who survives an abortion procedure.
The resolution from the doctor, who describes himself as pro-choice on abortion, asked the AMA to “advocate for availability of the highest standard of neonatal care to [an] aborted fetus born alive at a gestational age of viability,” which occurs at approximately 21-22 weeks’ gestation.
According to a report, Eppes explained that his resolution wouldn’t have the AMA take a position on abortion. It would merely urge proper medical care and treatment for a viable baby who had been born alive — a view most Americans support.
“This position is not to argue the woman’s right to choose … The decision to abort is still between the patient and the physician,” Eppes said. “It does not imply the woman’s responsibility for the fetal life, but this resolution places the burden of care on the physician, who now has to care for two patients once the fetus is viable.”
The AMA said no.
