Alberta Data Shows Babies Surviving Abortions
Clear Facts
- Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) reported 133 late-term abortions in Alberta in the 2023-2024 year.
- Data revealed that 28 babies were born alive after these procedures.
- There is no federal requirement in the U.S. to report instances when infants survive attempted abortions.
Health data from Alberta, Canada, reveals that 28 out of 133 late-term abortions in 2023-2024 resulted in babies born alive, raising concerns among pro-life advocates.
Rather than receiving care, these infants were reportedly left to die, a reality that demands the attention of both America and Canada.
“I know this reality all too well because I am one of those statistics. I survived an abortion in 1977.”
Survivors like Melissa Ohden have turned personal tragedy into advocacy, calling for better safeguards and protections for infants born under such circumstances.
The lack of consistent, nationwide reporting in the U.S. leaves a troubling gap in understanding the true scale of this issue.
In states like Minnesota, abortion is permitted at any pregnancy stage, and many states do not require reporting when a child is born alive during an attempted abortion.
Pro-life voices emphasize the need for federal “Born Alive” legislation that would mandate medical care for every infant born alive after an abortion attempt and ensure long-term support for survivors and their mothers.
“The measure of a humane society is not whether every life can be saved, but whether every life is treated with dignity and given a chance.”
Strong legal and medical accountability, along with reporting standards, are called for to address the rights and needs of these vulnerable children.
These babies deserve more than to be counted—they deserve care, protection, and a chance at life.
