A bill requiring doctors and nurses to provide care for babies born alive during a failed late-term abortion cleared the North Carolina Senate on Monday, but the victory could be undone by the Democratic governor.

The Washington Times reports the Republican-drafted legislation specifies that health care practitioners should give children born alive the same protections as any other newborn patient. Those who don’t do so could face fines and prison time.

The bill’s sponsor, Republican Sen. Joyce Krawiec, said the bill in no way limits abortion and only changes “how that born-alive infant is treated.”

Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper has criticized the measure and is expected to veto it if it reaches his desk.
