Ensuring Justice for Victims of Partial-Birth Abortion Act
3/1/2025, 4:53 AMSummary of Bill HR 895
Bill 119 HR 895, also known as the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Enforcement Act, aims to amend title 18 of the United States Code to mandate that the Attorney General investigate any reported violations of the partial birth abortion ban. This legislation specifically targets the controversial practice of partial birth abortion, which involves partially delivering a fetus before terminating the pregnancy.The bill seeks to ensure that healthcare providers are complying with the federal ban on partial birth abortion, which was first enacted in 2003. By requiring the Attorney General to investigate alleged violations of this ban, the legislation aims to hold accountable any individuals or facilities that may be performing these procedures illegally.
Supporters of the bill argue that enforcing the partial birth abortion ban is crucial to protecting the sanctity of life and upholding the rule of law. They believe that the government has a responsibility to ensure that all healthcare providers are following federal regulations regarding abortion procedures. Opponents of the bill, on the other hand, argue that it infringes on women's reproductive rights and interferes with the doctor-patient relationship. They believe that the government should not be involved in regulating medical procedures and that the decision to terminate a pregnancy should be left to the individual and their healthcare provider. Overall, Bill 119 HR 895 is a contentious piece of legislation that highlights the ongoing debate surrounding abortion rights in the United States. If passed, this bill would increase oversight and enforcement of the partial birth abortion ban, potentially impacting the availability and legality of certain abortion procedures in the country.
