Pro-life group warns babies are still left to die after failed abortions in Alberta
A pro-life group in Alberta claims that 17 babies were born alive after late-term abortions in the province last year and were left to die due to existing health policies. The group cites national data showing a decline in such cases across Canada, from 150 to 129, but stresses that current Alberta Health Services policies still permit non-intervention. Prolife Alberta argues that legal personhood begins at birth and calls for immediate administrative changes to ensure medical care for infants born alive.
