A handful of states recently advanced a pro-life bill that would require public school students to be shown a fetal development video as part of their health education.
The “Baby Olivia” bill requires middle and high school students to view a medically accurate video created by Live Action on fetal development from the moment of fertilization until birth.
Live Action is a non-profit pro-life organization founded by Lila Rose.Â
So far, members of the Kentucky House advanced the bill as well as the West Virginia Senate, and the Iowa Senate.
“The bill ensures the teaching to our children of basic facts about human development in a very approachable way,” Iowa Rep. Anne Osmundson (R-Volga) said of the video. “This is scientific information. This is teaching basic biology to our children. And it helps to answer one of life’s biggest questions: where did I come from?”
While the laws do not require schools to play the video produced by Live Action, it does require that the educational material presented to children be “comparable.”
The video reveals the remarkable development that takes place in the womb from a single-celled human to a baby with a beating heart, brainwaves, fingers, and toes.Â
