With the March for Life happening in Washington, D.C., Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., told Newsmax Friday he is continuing to advocate for the survivors of late-term abortions.
Marshall authored the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health professionals to provide the "same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence" that would be offered during a normal childbirth.
Practitioners who violate the measure would face fines and up to five years in jail.
"Eighty percent of Americans do not support late-term abortions, but from time to time, the baby survives it," Marshall said on "National Report."
The Kansas senator said he believes how a society treats its most vulnerable reflects its moral value.
House Republicans approved the act on Thursday, though Democrats labeled it a gimmick, since such laws already exist.
Democrats recently blocked the bill from passing in the Senate.
