The Florida Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously approved Monday a bill requiring doctors to provide medical care to infants born alive during botched abortion procedures.

SB 1636 (Infants Born Alive), sponsored by Sen. Anitere Flores, R-Miami, now makes its way to the Senate Appropriations Committee.

The House counterpart, Rep. Cary Pigman's HB 1129, is on its second reading before that chamber.
