President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order directing the federal government to protect the rights of newborn children who are either extremely premature or born with disabilities.

While the United States has a number of laws to ensure that newborn children receive adequate medical care, the president said that some medical providers still decline treatment to newborns in cases of long-term disabilities and extremely premature births.
