President Bush Signs Born- Alive Infants Protection Act.(George W. Bush)
PITTSBURGH (August 5, 2002) - - At a ceremony in Pittsburgh attended by NRLC officials and other pro-life advocates, President Bush signed into law the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, a bill strongly backed by NRLC.
The law guarantees that every infant born alive enjoys full legal rights under federal law, regardless of his or her stage of development or whether the live birth occurred during an abortion.
"This important legislation ensures that every infant born alive - - including an infant who survives an abortion procedure - - is considered a person under federal law," the President said before signing the bill.
He added, "Today, through sonograms and other technology, we can see clearly that unborn children are members of the human family, as well.
"The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act is a step toward the day when every child is welcomed in life and protected in law. It is a step toward the day when the promises of the Declaration of Independence will apply to everyone, not just those with the voice and power to defend their rights."
(The complete text of President Bush's statement appears on page 26 of this issue.)
Among those invited to and attending the ceremony were NRLC President Wanda Franz, Ph.D., and NRLC Federal Legislative Director Douglas Johnson. Also in attendance were four leaders of the state's NRLC affiliate, the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation: Board President Sue Rogacs, Executive Director Michael Ciccocioppo, Legislative/ PAC Director Mary Beliveau, and Board Treasurer Robert Boehner.
