Tennessee Senate Passes 'Baby Olivia Act' On Fetal Development

Yellen and Powell testify on the CARES Act at the Hart Senate Office Building in Washington

Tennessee is on the verge of implementing a new law that would mandate public school students to watch a three-minute AI-generated video on fetal development created by an anti-abortion group. The legislation, known as the 'Baby Olivia Act,' was passed by the state Senate in a 21-6 vote and is now awaiting approval from Republican Gov. Bill Lee.

Under the proposed law, schools will be required to incorporate the video, or an equivalent, into their family life curriculum. This curriculum will cover topics such as human growth, development, and sexuality through computer-generated animation or high-definition ultrasound depicting early fetal development.
