A three-minute-long animated video created by the anti-abortion group Live Action is being pushed into classrooms across the country, but medical professionals and educators say the video is scientifically misleading and designed to push an ideological perspective.
The video, nicknamed “Baby Olivia,” claims to show the stages of fetal development through computer-generated imaging. However, the narration makes several misrepresentations about when a fetal heartbeat can be detected and how early a fetus can survive outside the womb.
