The West Virginia Senate, dominated by Republicans, has passed a bill that mandates the viewing of an anti-abortion video in public schools. The video in question, 'Baby Olivia' by Live Action, is intended for eighth and tenth-grade classrooms. However, it has faced criticism from medical professionals and educators who argue that it presents misleading information.
The animated video showcases the stages of fetal development, starting from fertilization and progressing through various embryonic and fetal milestones. Critics have pointed out inaccuracies in the video, such as referring to a 'heartbeat' at six weeks when the embryo does not yet have a heart.
