It focused on newborn babies.

"All children should be welcomed with joy and wonder, no matter the circumstances of their birth," she said. "Yet, too many of these sweet little ones are denied the medical care they need to survive and thrive simply because they were unwanted."

She was talking specifically about babies who survived attempted abortions.

"This commonsense legislation will require healthcare providers to administer the same level of care to the babies who survive abortions that they would to any other child born at the same gestational age," she said.

"I hope that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle will, again, join me in supporting the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, as some did, as our chairman mentioned, when it passed the House in both 2015 and 2018 with bipartisan support."

Republican Rep. Kat Cammack of Florida, a co-sponsor, spoke shortly after Wagner.
