The Text of Illinois' Born Alive Infant Protection Act

This is the wording of the Illinois version of the BAIPA:

Defines "born-alive infant" to include every infant member of the species homo sapiens who is born alive at any stage of development. Defines "born alive" to mean the complete expulsion or extraction from the mother of an infant, at any stage of development, who after that expulsion or extraction breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, regardless of whether the umbilical cord has been cut and regardless of whether the expulsion or extraction occurs as a result of natural or induced labor, cesarean section, or induced abortion. Effective immediately.

SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.
Provides that a live child born as a result of an abortion shall be fully recognized as a human person and accorded immediate protection under the law.

This is what Barack Obama voted against repeatedly.
